Description
We will kick off our Poncha tour at one of our meeting points in Funchal or Caniço. Ready to do the 'Poncha shake'?
Miradouro Neves: starting strong with an amazing view
No good tour in Madeira without having some amazing views as well: our first stop is at the Viewpoint Neves, where we will introduce you with the first little sip of Poncha and explain more about the history.
Camacha and Santo da Serra: dive into the local lifestyle
First stop is a local bar where the owner will show us the magic behind the preparation. You want to mix your own Poncha? Help Senhora Alexandra to prepare the Poncha “Pescador” with the Caralhinho (Poncha Stick). Of course we will try our creation afterwards.
Afterwards we will head to Camacha a small town in the mountains. Here we will find some of the best (very) local Poncha bars which you should not miss. Time for the next bar and Poncha of the day!
Bar Nr. 3 the finale: choose your favourite flavour – cheers to us and to a wonderful tour! We will be at a place which is popular in the local community. Not only because of it’s Poncha, but also for its yummy local food.
Back to Funchal: new friends, new memories
We'll head back to Funchal. Your day doesn't have to end here, as we'll be happy to recommend our favourite poncha bars if you feel like having another drink with your tour buddies.

Important Information
- *Please be aware that the weather in Madeira is unpredictable, it has a sub tropical climate and can change unexpectedly during the day. That means sometimes paths or places are closed by the local authorities or it might be too dangerous to do the originally planned trip. In these cases we are doing our best to inform you in time and offer you alternatives, but sometimes we need to be flexible on the tour day itself. What will never be missed is good mood and the beauty of the island - no matter what weather, we are sure you will enjoy this paradise!
