Description

Explore Eastern Madeira with your guide! Discover the mountain peaks and verdant forests as well as get to know more about local culture.

Depart Funchal and head to the first stop, Camacha, on the southern side of the island. This picturesque village is known for folk dancing and basket weaving. Next, head to the summet of one of the most impressive peaks on Madeira, Pico do Arieiro. At 1,820 meters high, the view is amazing! If the conditions are right, visitors will enjoy the plunging view down into the valley and even be able to see the ocean. During cloudy weather, it feels as if you are alone in the world, surrounded by clouds!

Return to earth and pass through several villages in the vegetation-filled valley. Visit Ribeiro Frio, a green oasis in the middle of the island! Then, head north and visit Santana for lunch. Visitors will enjoy the red and blue triangular houses in the village.

Following lunch the tour continues on to Sao Lourenco, where you can enjoy a spectacular view of the ocean. The rocks that make up this landscape and their ocre and red hues will leave a lasting impression. Finally, stop by Machico, a village with beautiful sandy beaches on your way back to Funchal.

Visit and learn about the best of Eastern Madeira on this tour, from the exceptional views to ancient traditions!
