DAY 2 FUNCHAL

Today we’ll enjoy a sightseeing tour of Funchal. We’ll begin by visiting a busy market.

Today is free for you to enjoy at your leisure, or perhaps you’ll join our optional levada walk. There’s a whole network of levadas – water channels – on the island, which provide a spectacular array of walking paths. Please ensure you bring suitable walking attire for this day. (B,D)

DAY 4 EAST ISLAND TOUR

Today we head up the hills of the island to admire spectacular views from Pico do Arieiro, the thirdhighest peak on the island, before calling at the trout hatchery in Ribeiro Frio. We’ll enjoy lunch at Santana, a pretty village where you will be able to see the unique, thatched triangular houses, typical of the region. After lunch we’ll make our way back to Funchal along the stunning north coast. The view from Portela is simply breathtaking and we’ll also pass Machico, the island’s first capital. (B,L)

DAY 5 EIRA DO SERRADO & MONTE

After breakfast this morning we’ll visit Pico dos Barcelos, a viewpoint offering spectacular views of Funchal. We’ll then wind our way up the mountain to Eira do Serrado, a stunningly beautiful place surrounded by mountains and overlooking the remote village of Curral das Freiras, or Nuns Valley. From here, our journey continues to the delightful hamlet of Monte, home to the beautiful Church of Our Lady of Monte and the tranquil Parque Municipal do Monte. (B)

DAY 6 FUNCHAL - DAY AT LEISURE

Enjoy another day at leisure or join our optional tour of Madeira’s west coast. We’ll see the fishing village of Câmara de Lobos and head to Cabo Girao.

We’ll also visit Porto Moniz, then continue to Paúl da Serra, before descending into the Laurisilva Forest valleys. (B)
