A great tour for those wanting to explore some of Madeira’s most beautiful natural sights and culture.

The tour starts with a drive up the “Carreiras” road towards the 3rd highest peak in Madeira – Pico do Arieiro which stands at 1818m (if the weather does not permit, you will visit the village of Porto da Cruz).

The tour then continues on to Ribeiro Frio, a Natural Park, where there will be the opportunity to do the Balcões levada walk.

Later in the day you will move on to Santana. You will visit the centre of the village and see the typical thatched-roofed houses.

The final stop of the day will be Ponta de São Lourenço which is the eastern extremity of the island and offers magnificent views – the perfect opportunity to take your last few photos on the tour!
