Highlights

  • Breathtaking coastal views: The impressive north coast over the Boca do Risco saddle runs along an old supply route. Enjoy the view from the spectacular terraces to Porto da Cruz.
  • Exotic floral splendour: Shady laurel trees, which are part of the UNESCO World Heritage, line your route.
  • Lava stone swimming pool: The most beautiful places to swim are in Funchal and Porto Moniz. Tip for snorkelers and divers: The Gulf Stream hosts a tropical biodiversity! So do not forget your goggles!
  • Lively capital of Funchal: The city has many sights. The Sé Cathedral and the market hall are definitely worth a visit.

    The first hike was great over the Boca do Rico. After that the hikes along the Levadas were much the same. Because of the recent fire the route on day 5 had to be changed so we missed the mountain hike. We were dropped off at view point to walk straight down to Camara de Lobos. The walk along the ocean was nice. We planned on taking the gondola up to the tropical gardens, but the line up was long so opted to hike up to the top. At times it was a 32 % grade! Not sure if the 15 Euro ticket to see the garden was worth it.
