Description:

Discover Madeira's west coast and explore its traditional fishing villages, sunny fields, and one of the highest seaside cliffs in Europe. Indulge in a traditional lunch as you soak up the surrounding landscapes.

Câmara de Lobos—a traditional fishing village—is your first stop. Wander through the cobbled streets and explore the place that inspired Sir Winston Churchill's paintings whenever he visited the island. Your scenic drive continues toward Cabo Girão—one of Europe’s largest seaside cliffs—offering you panoramic and breathtaking views over the island.

As you move toward the laurisilva (laurel forest), your tour stops at Ribeira Brava’s charming church and Ponta do Sol, considered the most charming village of Madeira. Take a deep breath and inhale the eucalyptus and pine-scented breeze from the lavish sub-tropical forest.

Follow your guide on an easy hike along the levada (aqueduct) and prepare to be amazed by nature’s bizarre lava formations at Porto Moniz. Here you can dip in the natural pools or just sit back and take a break. To end on a high note, enjoy a traditional lunch, powerful waterfalls, and striking views atop the Encumeada Pass.
