Overview

Travel in an open roof 4x4 to the southwest of Madeira. Taking the old roads your guide will show you the village Campanário with its overlooking terraces and cliffs. Continue up to Paúl da Serra at 1500 meters to see rocks formed by volcanoes and flattened by erosion. See the landscape marked by centuries of footsteps that peasants took, carrying and leading their animals and their products from one side of the Island to the other.

Next stop on this tour will be Fonte do Bispo & Prazeres, where you admire incredibly deep and majestic beauty. Explore valleys covered by a layer of a dense green mantle that lead to the warmth of the southwest part of Madeira. Pass by Paul do Mar, Jardim do Mar - local fishing villages and visit waterfalls and banana plants.
