Description

We will kick off our Poncha tour at one of our meeting points in Funchal or Caniço. Ready to do the 'Poncha shake'?  Miradouro Pinaculo: starting strong with an amazing view No good tour in Madeira without having some amazing views as well: our first stop is at the Viewpoint Pinaculo, where we will introduce you with the first little sip of Poncha and explain more about the history. Camacha: dive into the local lifestyle Afterwards we will head to Camacha, a small town more up in the mountains. Here we will find some of the best (very) local Poncha bars. Originals, which you should not miss. Time for the first bar and Poncha of the day: the original Pescador! Next stop is a tiny bar where the owner will show us the magic behind the preparation. You want to mix your own Poncha? Help Senhor Agostinho to prepare the Poncha “Regional” with the Caralhinho (Poncha Stick). Of course we will try our creation afterwards. Bar Nr. 3 is colourful and another unique little place. Our Poncha Maracujá will be accompanied by some local nibbles. The finale: choose your favorite flavor – cheers to us and to a wonderful tour! We will be at a place which is popular in the local community. Not only because of it’s Poncha, but also for its yummy local food. If you want to have some food to get back at your feet, we recommend to eat here (not included in the price). Back to Funchal: new friends, new memories We'll head back to Funchal. Your day doesn't have to end here, as we'll be happy to recommend our favourite poncha bars if you feel like having another drink with your tour buddies.

Important Information

  • *Please be aware that the weather in Madeira is unpredictable, it has a sub tropical climate and can change unexpectedly during the day. That means sometimes paths or places are closed by the local authorities or it might be too dangerous to do the originally planned trip. In these cases we are doing our best to inform you in time and offer you alternatives, but sometimes we need to be flexible on the tour day itself. What will never be missed is good mood and the beauty of the island - no matter what weather, we are sure you will enjoy this paradise! *Times are approximate and may vary depending on traffic and/or weather conditions.
