Start your day at a place of stirring atmosphere, visiting one of the most emblematic sightseeing points before all the hustle and bustle of buses and visitors cars arrive at Cabo Girão.
Continue your trip to the mountains from where you can contemplate Nuns Valley village, trough pathways between farms in which cherry and chestnut trees share space with extensive vineyards, this route seems painted in green or bronze colours, sprinkled with the rooftop orange and multi-coloured walls downhill until at last reaching the blue sea spotted with the colourful typical Camara de Lobos boats resting from fishing. Afterwards, taste the nectar produced by one of the most antique wine cellars or the famous fisherman poncha, popular around this village. These are some of the surprises we have kept for you.

This tour begins in Ponta do Garajau, the cliff that serves as base to Christ King Statue (Sacred Heart Statue) and provides an interesting perspective from Funchal’s bay. We continue our excursion until Santa Cruz, one of Madeira’s earliest centres of population.
From where we start the vertiginous climb to the mountains, passing along farm tracks and glimpsing small settlements almost hidden by the rugged terrain. In this half day experience, we will have the opportunity of following native forest trails and the cobblestone royal path towards Machico city where we finish this wonderfully varied trip.

A tour that focuses on the southwest, where the sun shines almost all year round and where peace and quiet reign. Let the guides lead you between the dirt roads and the narrow agricultural paths integrated in the fields full of banana trees which dominate the crops in these places and colour the landscape and the cliffs abundantly illuminated by the sun. Here you can see the evidence of a past where hundreds of canals transported the magma that formed our island to the surface.
