Description
The east side of Madeira Island, where winding roads, stunning viewpoints, and charming villages await! Departing from the vibrant city of Funchal, we’ll set off on an adventure that’s as breathtaking as it is fun.
Our first stop is Pico do Arieiro, standing proud at 1,818 meters. As we wind our way up, you’ll feel the excitement building—once at the top, the views are nothing short of spectacular! Take in the sweeping panoramas, snap some photos, and breathe in the fresh mountain air.
Next, we’ll descend into the tiny, picturesque village of Ribeiro Frio. Here, you can stretch your legs with a leisurely levada walk through a Laurissilva forest. This lush, green paradise is home to a variety of birdlife, so keep your eyes peeled for the friendly firecrest and the colourful chaffinch—they’re often hanging about.
After working up an appetite, we’ll head to the charming town of Santana for a delicious lunch. While you’re there, don’t miss the iconic triangular houses that are a unique feature of this region. These colourful, thatched-roof homes offer a glimpse into Madeira’s past.
After lunch we’ll make our way to Miradouro Guindaste, a viewpoint that’s sure to take your breath away. Standing on a balcony made of glass and steel, you’ll feel like you’re floating above the ocean—trust us, the view is one you won’t forget!
Our final stop is Ponta de São Lourenço, where Madeira’s rugged beauty truly shines. This stunning peninsula offers some of the most dramatic cliffs and ocean views that this area is famous for.
So, grab your camera, bring your sense of adventure, and let’s hit the road together! This tour is all about soaking up the beauty and charm of Madeira’s east side, one stunning stop at a time.
