Discover Madeira on a journey that embraces the grandeur of its mountains, the authenticity of local traditions, and the serenity of its valleys. This tour is designed for those seeking more than just landscapes; it’s for those who wish to feel the soul of the island. Begin at the charming Pico dos Barcelos viewpoint, where a peaceful atmosphere and a breathtaking panoramic view of Funchal await you. More intimate than the city’s busier viewpoints, it’s the ideal place to truly absorb the beauty of Madeira’s landscape. From its terrace, you can admire the bay, the terracotta rooftops, and the mountains embracing the city — a picture-perfect stop for unforgettable photos and quiet contemplation. Continue with a gentle ascent through the mountains to the iconic Eira do Serrado viewpoint, one of Madeira’s most impressive settings. Here, the Curral das Freiras valley unfolds like a natural amphitheater sculpted by time. Each glance invites contemplation as you learn the fascinating history of this refuge that sheltered the nuns of the Santa Clara Convent in the 16th century. Descend into the heart of Curral das Freiras, where the village’s welcoming atmosphere is palpable. Stroll through tranquil streets steeped in preserved traditions, savoring the famous artisanal ginja or, in season, the irresistible aroma of local chestnuts. A brief walk allows you to experience the essence of this community surrounded by majestic mountains. Proceed to Jardim da Serra, where nature becomes greener, fresher, and more delicate. At the Eiras viewpoint, a gentle setting invites serenity and well-being before enjoying a delicious break with chestnut cake, homemade jams, or herbal tea made from locally harvested herbs. Continue towards Câmara de Lobos, located on the south coast of the island of Madeira and the first place inhabited by João Gonçalves Zarco, the navigator who discovered this “pearl of the Atlantic”. Having remained there between 1420 and 1424, this was the first settlement created in Madeira, becoming a parish in 1430. Its historical legacy remains highly relevant. The name of this municipality comes from the large number of sea lions that inhabited the cove at the time of the island's discovery — a colony that can still occasionally be spotted in the area today. Monuments from this period still stand, such as the Chapel of Nossa Senhora da Conceição (15th century), the former São Bernardino Convent (1425), and the Church of São Sebastião (16th century). Return to Funchal along a panoramic route through the Estreito de Câmara de Lobos, with the possibility of a photo stop among the vineyards — a final visual gift to conclude this memorable journey.

We begin our day with a peaceful visit to the Cristo Rei viewpoint in Garajau — the Art Deco Sacred Heart statue of Jesus Christ offering stunning coastal views. Next, we head to the Levada Camacha trail, also known as Paradise Valley. This easy 60-minute walk takes you through lush greenery, flowing water channels, and diverse local flora and fauna, nature at its finest. Afterwards, we travel to the charming northern village of Santana to explore its iconic Colmo houses. Lunch is served at Quinta do Furão, a beautiful spot surrounded by vineyards and gardens. You will also have the chance to taste Madeira wine with panoramic views of the coast. We then stop at the Portela Viewpoint (670m) for sweeping views of the north coast and the dramatic Eagle’s Cliff. Our final stop is Santo da Serra, where we soak in the local culture at the traditional Sunday farmer’s market, the perfect way to end a laid-back island day.
