About this route
Experience Madeira’s enchanting west coast, where natural beauty meets cultural richness. Our journey begins at Cabo Girão, one of Europe’s highest sea cliffs, offering thrilling glass-floored views over the coastline. From there, we head to the mystical Fanal Forest, with its ancient laurel trees often shrouded in mist, creating a dreamlike atmosphere perfect for nature lovers and photographers alike.
Continuing to Ribeira da Janela, we’ll admire dramatic rock formations rising from the ocean, a unique sight along Madeira’s rugged coast. Next, we reach Porto Moniz, famous for its natural volcanic swimming pools where you can dip into crystal-clear Atlantic waters surrounded by black lava rock.
Our next stop is Seixal, a charming village known for its lush green mountains, scenic waterfalls, and unique black-sand beach — a rare treat on Madeira’s coast. In São Vicente, we’ll explore this serene village nestled in a picturesque valley, known for its volcanic caves and traditional architecture.
To conclude, we’ll drive back to Funchal through the Encumeada Pass, offering sweeping views of Madeira’s mountain ranges and valleys, a scenic finale to a tour that captures the island’s wild beauty and cultural soul.
