Begin your journey at Pico do Arieiro, the island’s third-highest mountain at 1,818 meters. From the summit, take in vast panoramas of rugged peaks, deep valleys, and, on clear days, endless seas of clouds.
Next, visit the traditional village of Santo da Serra, known for its fertile farmland and rustic character. The tour continues with an off-road drive into the Laurissilva Forest, one of the world’s remaining primeval laurel forests, dense with lush greenery and ancient trees.
At the Portela viewpoint, you'll see sweeping views over Madeira’s north coast, including Porto da Cruz village and its dramatic mountain-framed coastline. The scenery is ideal for photography.
