Boca das Voltas viewpoint

Highlight • Viewpoint

From the Boca das Voltas viewpoint, a breathtaking view unfolds: the Laurissilva forest covers the slopes with its intense green, framed by the deep blue of the sea in the distance.

Amidst lawns and silence, it's the ideal place to lose yourself in the landscape. From here, you can see the serene beauty of Falcas, the discreet houses of Achada da Madeira, Lombo do Urzal… and far below, the mouth of Ribeira do Porco, where a small pebble beach hides beside the clear waters.

Stone Bridge in the Valley

Highlight • Bridge

The old stone bridge in the valley on Madeira spans a clear stream and connects narrow paths through the mountainous landscape. The sturdy structure, built from roughly hewn stones, seems like a time capsule, conveying the impression of centuries-old infrastructure for shepherds and hikers. Surrounded by lush greenery and the sound of rushing water, the bridge is an ideal spot for a short rest, offering a view of both nature and history.

Pebble Beach with Rock Formations

Highlight • Beach

A pebble beach with rock formations on Madeira impressively demonstrates how the island's rugged volcanic heritage, with its grey stones, sharply defined cliffs, and blue Atlantic, creates a breathtaking natural backdrop. The grey pebbles underfoot, the towering cliffs in the background, and the constant sound of the waves create an atmospheric blend of wildness and tranquility – an ideal spot for short breaks and immersive nature experiences.

Caminho da Entrosa: View from the Cliffs

Highlight • Viewpoint

The Caminho do Entrosa on Madeira is a quiet and impressive high-altitude trail that winds along the rugged north coast between the villages of Arco de São Jorge and Boaventura. This old cobblestone path runs high above the Atlantic Ocean at an altitude of approximately 380 meters, offering spectacular cliff views while the sea crashes against the rocks far below. This section combines landscape, history, and views in a particularly striking way – a perfect opportunity for those who want to peacefully enjoy a spectacular coastal panorama.

Cliffside Trail on Madeira

Highlight • Trail

Very nice path. Sometimes you need a bit of courage when there is no barrier, but in principle the path is always wide enough.

Viewpoint at Arco da Calheta Cliffs

Highlight • Viewpoint

The viewpoint on the cliffs of Arco da Calheta offers a breathtaking view over the northwest coast of Madeira: rugged cliffs that drop directly into the deep blue sea, green mountain ridges and a wide horizon create a dramatic scene that invites you to linger and take photographs.

Great and very strenuous tour. But it is better to walk it counterclockwise, because the steep and rocky forest paths go uphill and the stairs go downhill.
