What you can expect

Embark on a captivating journey through the enchanting west of Madeira, where every twist and turn reveals a new chapter of natural beauty and wonder.

First on our itinerary is the thrilling descent to Achadas da Cruz, a slice of paradise nestled amidst towering cliffs. As we glide down Europe's steepest cable car**, the world unfolds beneath us in a breathtaking panorama.

Next, we find ourselves drawn to the refreshing embrace of Porto Moniz, where we find the popular natural sea pools with the black volcanic rocks. Here, the rhythm of the ocean lulls us into a state of pure relaxation, while hidden coves promise moments of solitude and serenity. entrance fee of 3€ per person not included.

Our journey continues to Fanal Park, It seems straight out of a storybook. Walk among (hopefully misty) strangely shaped trees and keep your eyes peeled for the famous cows that sometimes appear out of nowhere in the mystical mist.

Then we descend to the outstanding islets of Ribeira da Janela where we find true enchantment, as we stand in awe of a rock formation that seems to defy gravity, rising majestically from the sea.

Our journey comes closer to and end when we visit Seixal, with the allure of a black sand beach and cascading waterfalls await.

And what better way to toast our adventures than with a sip of poncha, the island's signature drink? At a local bar, we raise our glasses to new friendships forged and memories made, savoring the sweetness of the moment.
