Overview

In Fanal, the centerpiece is undoubtedly the grove of centuries-old tis (Ocotea foetens)—these specimens date back even before the archipelago's discovery. They are part of the indigenous Laurissilva forest, which here expresses itself in a state of conservation that is impressive for its vibrancy.

The tour allows you to walk at your own pace within the time we provide, without having to hassle with parking a car or paying parking fees and being subjected to availability.

A medium-difficulty trail, the Vereda do Fanal trail ends in the Fanal area, where you'll find a small volcanic caldera classified as a Rest and Silence Reserve by the Madeira Natural Park. It's the ideal place to relax and unwind, while enjoying the views from the natural viewpoints and the unique surroundings of the centuries-old tis (Ocotea foetens) forests, some of which predate the island's discovery.
