Visit an area of great importance for biodiversity conservation

Dit kun je verwachten

This guided trek will take you from the São Jorge Valley, situated in Madeira's northside, through the Laurissilva Forest.

You will walk along the Levada do Rei, a man-made canal, part of a wider network of levadas, that thanks to gravity brings water from the northern side of the island to the South. Following this trail, you will go through the São Jorge Valley and the Laurissilva Forest, a UNESCO-protected area, that plays an important role in maintaining the hydrological balance in Madeira.

During the walk, you will admire a wide variety of plants and medicinal herbs, and your guide will explain the different healing properties of each one of them. This easy trekking, with a total length of 11 km, will also take you behind a waterfall to visit a paradise on earth.

Madeira west coast tour with Cabo Girao and lunch in Porto Moniz

Madeira's magnificent scenery takes centre stage on this full day tour. You'll visit a selection of highlights including Cabo Girao Cliff and it's glass-floored platform, Porto Moniz and Paúl da Serra. Mariana, one of our expert local guides, says "you'll get to know the true drama of Madeira's landscapes. You might be lucky enough to see the ocean both to the north and the south, but the highest points on the island do sometimes catch the clouds."Your first destination will be the Cabao Girao Cliff, where you can step out onto its glass-floored platform that stretches out over the edge. The coastal views here are some of the best around, so don't forget your camera. Mariana adds, "the cliff is around 580 metres high, making it one of the tallest in Europe. The views from the skywalk are really something else, and its experience that'll stick with you." Then, you'll head to the coastal town of Riberia Brava, before a stroll through a banana plantation in Madalena do Mar.Next, we'll head up the 1,500m-high Paúl da Serra plateau before descending on Porto Moniz, famous for its natural lava rock swimming pools. A typical lunch freshly prepared with local produce awaits in the village. Rounding off the day is a poncha drink demonstration and tasting in Câmara de Lobos – a favourite holiday spot of Winston Churchill. Mariana says "be careful – poncha is so fruity and refreshing, but it hides a serious brandy kick."
