Highlights

Experience the true spirit of eastern Madeira on a unique combination of Jeep safari and Levada walk. Start at Pico do Arieiro (1818m) for breathtaking mountain views, then venture off-road through the mountains of Faial, surrounded by Madeira’s rich biodiversity. Discover Santana and its traditional thatched-roof houses, some over 250 years old, before enjoying a scenic Levada walk through local agricultural landscapes. Meet local farmers, discover traditional crops and enjoy panoramic views over Porto da Cruz, the North Coast and Penha d’Águia. In Porto da Cruz, visit a traditional rum distillery and learn about Madeira’s famous rum-making heritage. Finish at Ponta de São Lourenço, the island’s driest and windiest region, with spectacular views of both coasts. A memorable journey connecting nature, culture, local traditions and sustainable travel.

About Funchal

Funchal is the capital of Madeira, a Portuguese island in the Atlantic, set on steep green hills with flower-filled gardens and a seafront old town.

Funchal spreads up a steep hillside above a natural harbour on Madeira's south coast. The old town, the Zona Velha, has narrow lanes with painted doors and small restaurants, and the cathedral dates from around 1500. The Mercado dos Lavradores sells tropical fruit, fish and flowers in a hall decorated with blue tiles. A cable car climbs from the harbourfront to Monte, high above.

Top-ranked sights in Funchal: Sé Cathedral of Funchal, Church of Our Lady of Monte (Igreja de Nossa Senhora do Monte), Madeira Botanical Gardens.
