Madeira island full day tour
1.. Câmara de Lobos, located on the south coast of the island of Madeira, was 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, elevated to parish in 1430. Its historical legacy is, therefore, very relevant 2.. At 580 meters high, Cabo Girão is the highest promontory in Europe. But that's not the only reason it has become increasingly famous all over the world. The Cabo Girão viewpoint, with its famous suspended glass platform — called “skywalk” — is currently one of the most visited (and certainly most photographed) tourist attractions in the archipelago. 3. The municipality of São Vicente is home to a vast area of Laurissilva, the most precious natural treasure of the archipelago. The diversity of flora and fauna in this forest, as well as its state of conservation, make the municipality of São Vicente one of the most privileged places to, through its multiple pedestrian routes, come into close contact with Madeiran Nature — often with the ocean in backdrop. The verdant landscapes of this region are also marked by the impact of volcanic forces and the erosion of its slopes. Here, you can visit the famous volcanic caves, formed 890 thousand years ago. Therefore, there is no shortage of reasons to come and discover the municipality of São Vicente. 4..Located on the old road that connects São Vicente and Seixal, it is one of the most iconic spots (and shared on social media) on the north coast of the island of Madeira. We are talking about the emblematic Véu da Noiva Waterfall, whose beauty can be admired from the Véu da Noiva viewpoint. 5..On the north coast of the island of Madeira, there is a corner known for its unique beauty. Porto de Abrigo do Seixal beach, also known simply as Seixal beach, is an authentic living postcard. As such, its landscape has won over lovers of the sea, nature and, of course, photography. The scenery is painted in harmonious tones: a black sand bathed by the Atlantic and protected by cliffs and verdant mountains. This place therefore appears to be a green amphitheater, offering bathers a peaceful atmosphere 6.. It is in the parish of Ribeira da Janela that the watercourse with the same name flows. It is the most extensive and abundant river formed in the interior of the island of Madeira. Originating in the middle of the mountains, this water line crosses the Madeiran mountains until it flows into the Atlantic. 7..Porto Moniz, a municipality located in the extreme north of Madeira Island, presents some of the most beautiful images of the Region. Between the grandeur of the mountains and the calm surface of the ocean, the municipality of Porto Moniz also dazzles with the charm of its picturesque parishes, which are overflowing with rich customs. One cannot talk about Porto Moniz without mentioning the natural pools that, in its volcanic rocks, s
