Hey, fellow explorers! Join us on an  journey through Madeira's northern highlights. Whether you're an adventure seeker or simply curious to uncover hidden gems, this tour is designed just for you. Serra da Agua: coffee time Our first stop is in Serra de Agua, where we'll have a coffee meetup to explain the day's plan. You can choose between a bica or a garoto. Take a big sip, because we have a packed itinerary! São Vicente: Miradouro Pico da Cova Next we will visit the famous White Chapel on top of of a small mountain in the middle of the lush green valley of São Vicente. We have to climb some stairs, but it's worth it: an amazing view is awaiting us! Swiming time in Seixal: black beach and waterfalls Seixal's black sand beach has made it to some fame on Instagram. Cameras at the ready, because the landscape with beach, sea and waterfalls is just fantastic! We will stay for a while so you can dive in, swim and enjoy the beautiful scenario. lunchtime in São Vicente Center Lunch (not included in the package) in São Vicente is optional. Those who are in the mood for exploration can continue to see this charming town on their own.  Views and history: visiting an old watermill On our way to Santana we will stop for another beautiful viewpoint - Miradouro das Cabanas. We can have a sneak peak of what we will discover later: the view over Arco de São Jorge and beyond. Afterwards we explore a charming watermill, the last working one in Madeira. You can see how people used the Levadas in the past to mill corn and produce flour. São Jorge: Ruinas and the 'Door to the sea' Dive into history at São Jorge as we explore the Ruinas de São Jorge, the 'door to the sea'. Keep your camera ready, because the last one is a quite romantic motive. Santana House and Traditions Our trip will take us to Santana, where we will visit the traditional and authentic Santana house. Rocha do Navio Viewpoint: hidden jewel Prepare to be amazed at Rocha do Navio viewpoint, where a hidden gem of natural beauty will leave you awe-struck. Guindaste Viewpoint: old and new world We continue our journey through the beautiful Faial Valley - pure nature! The highlight: the Guindaste viewpoint, offering an unique perspective of the island's rugged beauty. Get your (smartphone) camera ready to take some breathtaking island pictures. Machico pit stop: Poncha time! Our tour is not over yet! We wouldn't be Heartbeat Madeira if we didn't finish our day with a (real) poncha in an authentic local poncha bar. Try the traditional drink of the islands and toast to our hike.
