Fontes Village

Highlight • Settlement

Small farm in the southern region of Madeira Island. Simple village without many attractions, but which serves as an ideal starting point for routes in the region.

At more than 1200 meters above sea level - and relatively easy to access - Pico da Cruz is an excellent running option in the central region of Madeira Island. It offers incredible views of Pico Grande, Passo da Encumeada, among others.

Chão dos Terreiros Summit

Highlight • Summit

The view from Chao dos Terreiros is sensational in good weather. The central location offers a panoramic view over the plateau Paul da Serra, down to the valley of the Ribeira Brava up to the Encumeada Pass and to the highest peaks of Madeira.

Little interesting tour, dusty paths full of cow dung, few views that you have elsewhere desolate landscape. There are 100 better tours in Madeira
