Discover the highlights of Madeira's beautiful landscapes and charming towns on this guided tour in a comfortable vehicle, with pickup and drop-off included. Stop at Camara de Lobos, the Ribeira Brava, and the village of São Vicente.
After pickup from your hotel, make your way to Camara de Lobos, where beautiful landscapes were painted by Sir Winston Churchill in the 1950s. The drive takes you along the old, narrow roads of Estreito de Camara de Lobos.
Admire the banana plantations and sugarcane on the steep terraces. Visit Madeira's pride and Cabo Girão, the highest sea cliff in Europe and the second-highest in the world. Discover views over the mountains and sea and old agricultural terraces still planted today.
Then, the route descends to Ribeira Brava, visiting old monuments, including the local church. Continue the drive through to Paul da Serra Madeira's popular flat plateau at 1500 m above sea level.
Embrace the beautiful laurel forest views through Fanal, where the oldest laurel trees and endemic vegetation grow. See the sea and the mountains, then continue to Porto Moniz Valley, well known for its natural volcanic pools in the summer.
After a lunch stop (cost not included), head along the north coast, where you can see waterfalls. Drive through the village of Seixal, well known for its black natural volcanic beach (when possible, there will be a stop at the beach).
Depending on weather conditions, discover Portugual's Encumeada Pass, where the north meets the south at 1,007 metres above sea level (this stop will depend on the weather conditions). At the end of the tour, you will be dropped back off at your hotel.
