Full description

Then, travel to the mountains of Madeira and see the Ribeira Brava valley from an altitude of approximately 1,400 meters.

Watch the colors of the sunset before a barbecue dinner at a local restaurant. Here, you will feast from a menu (bread, main course and dessert, 1 drink and coffee included) of typical dishes such as espetada - large chunks of beef rubbed in garlic and salt and grilled over an open fire, then served with local fried corn. Sample bolo do caco, the circular bread shaped like a cake that is cooked on a "caco" (a flat basalt stone slab) and served with garlic butter.

It was so much fun! We saw a lot of the island and the food was super authentic and pretty good. Our guide was super fun and we felt absolutely safe all the time. He was also flexible enough to drive us somewhere else, as we've been to the original destination already. Would highly recommend!

Juan was amazing, really personable and told us so much about the local area, culture, history and commerce of the island which we loved - he even would randomly pull over and point out different crops, vistas and buildings for us to learn about without coming across as arrogant or pushy - plus he took us to a great secluded area for sunset viewing rather than the more popular areas which would have been busier - thanks Juan!!

Nearly perfect!

If the sun hadn't hidden for the last minute it would have been perfect. But nobody can do anything for that! Barbecue, I thought we'd make one ourselves! However, this was probably not planned but a restaurant that prepared the national dish as such and served to us. The dinner costs extra .. but the whole of the offer was great, the pickup worked, the guide was great and the little off-road tour was great again for everyone. The food was delicious and the area at sunset by the sea was great, the best thing was the end in the festively decorated fishing village with delicious poncha. Gladly again and really recommendable!
