Description

Step into the enchanting eastern side of Madeira with our 'Madeira's Eastern Delights Tour,' where each stop unfolds a new layer of the island's diverse beauty and rich culture. Your journey begins in Camacha, known for its traditional wicker crafts, giving you a unique glimpse into Madeira’s artisanal heritage. Next, ascend to Pico do Areeiro, the island’s third highest peak. Here, you'll be treated to awe-inspiring views of Madeira’s mountainous landscape, often enchantingly cloaked in a blanket of clouds. This spot is perfect for breathtaking photos and taking in the serene high-altitude atmosphere. The tour continues to Ribeiro Frio, nestled in the lush Laurisilva forest, a UNESCO World Heritage site. This location offers a cool, fresh escape and the opportunity to see native flora and fauna, making it a nature lover's paradise. As you journey towards the north coast, stop at the Guindaste Viewpoint in Faial. This vantage point offers spectacular coastal views, where the rugged cliffs meet the vibrant blue Atlantic, providing a panoramic spectacle of nature’s power. In Santana, admire the iconic thatched triangular houses, which are emblematic of Madeira's rural architecture. This quaint village adds a picturesque cultural element to the tour, allowing you to step back in time. Your adventure proceeds to Porto da Cruz, a charming village known for its sugar cane production. Here, visit Engenho do Norte, one of the last remaining rum factories on the island, where you can learn about the traditional methods of rum production and taste the local spirit. Conclude your tour at Pico do Facho Viewpoint, offering one last majestic overlook of the island. From this historic watchpoint, used in the past for signaling, enjoy expansive views that stretch across the eastern coastline, providing a perfect end to a day full of exploration and discovery.
