Trip itinerary
Urban trails, botanical gardens and a sea sunset
Welcome to your dream trip – your first day in Madeira is filled with vibrant emotions, new flavors, and unforgettable views!
See full description
Your first morning in Madeira begins with a stroll through the cozy streets of Funchal's old town. Every facade seems to tell its own story, and around every corner lies a fragment of the island's living heritage. Cobblestone streets lead to bustling markets where locals offer exotic fruits, fragrant spices, and freshly caught fish. The aroma of coffee and the sea breeze fills the air, and the smiles of the locals energize you for the day. Then it's time to explore the terraced gardens and the renowned Funchal Botanical Garden. Here, a world of rare plants reigns: orchids in every hue, majestic agaves, and endemic plants found only on Madeira. The flowering alleys reveal stunning panoramic views of the city and bay, while the scents of exotic flowers transport you to another world—one harmonious and evergreen.
Lunch is a separate adventure. The tour includes a visit to a traditional tavern, where travelers can savor Madeiran "bolo do caco" bread with garlic butter, fresh cheese, smoked sausage, and signature meat or fish dishes. For those interested, there's a tasting of the famous Madeira wine, during which the guide shares the secrets of its production.
After a picturesque stroll through Funchal, travelers embark on one of the most vibrant and unforgettable adventures—a ride to the Monte district on the famous cable car. The modern cable car, seemingly floating above the city, slowly lifts its cabins higher and higher—above tiled roofs, tropical gardens, and the azure expanses of the Atlantic. From the cable car windows, mesmerizing panoramas unfold: the green hills of Madeira, terraced vineyards, palaces, and ancient churches nestled in the shade of trees. The ride takes about 15 minutes—enough time to snap dozens of photos or simply enjoy the meditative silence, interrupted only by the whisper of the wind.
Upon reaching Monte, travelers visit the Church of Our Lady of Monte, where the last Emperor of Austria, Charles I, rests, and stroll through parks and gardens filled with blooming camellias and hydrangeas. But the main attraction is yet to come—the traditional sleigh ride down Monte's steep streets! Sleigh drivers—hereditary masters in white uniforms and straw hats—greet guests at the starting point. Wooden sleighs with wicker sides are placed on the cobblestone road, passengers settle in comfortably—and the exhilarating ride begins! Drivers skillfully control the sleigh, accelerating it to speeds of up to 40 km/h, using the soles of their boots as brakes and steering. In just a few minutes, the sleigh is hurtling down narrow, winding roads, passing friendly locals, cafes, and houses, while shouts of joy and laughter echo throughout the area.
This unique activity is a hallmark of Madeira, combining tradition, adrenaline, and fun. Photos and videos from the descent will long be a reminder of this vibrant and unique experience, and after such an adventure, it's especially pleasant to enjoy a coffee at a local café and share your experiences with your fellow travelers.
As the midday sun fades, we'll visit a local beach to relax after so many vibrant experiences and conserve some energy for an evening out for dinner. In the evening, we'll head to Avenida do Mar. Yachts and boats slowly disappear into the setting light, and the air fills with a salty freshness and a gentle breeze. Dinner at a restaurant overlooking the ocean is the perfect ending to the first day: fresh seafood dishes, local specialties, and a glass of wine will be the best reward after a day full of excitement.
The second day on Madeira is a trip to Ponta de São Lourenço — a wild, windswept peninsula with a raw, almost lunar landscape. During a 3–4 hour hike, we cross steppes, basalt cliffs, and coves with turquoise waters, feeling the closeness of the elements and the vastness of the Atlantic. The views are breathtaking: on one side the endless ocean, on the other cliffs, gorges, and rocks — and ahead, the horizon with no end. We end the day with a delicious dinner in the fishing village of Caniçal, watching the sun set over the sea.

The second day of the Madeira journey begins at dawn, when the first rays of sunlight paint the eastern tip of the island in gold and amber. The group sets out towards Ponta de São Lourenço — the windiest and most rugged corner of Madeira, where we come face to face with the elements. The drive from Funchal takes about an hour, but time flies as the landscape outside the window shifts — hills, vineyards, small villages, and blooming fields. The trail begins at the Baía d’Abra parking lot, offering a breathtaking view of the Atlantic. There are no dense forests or levadas here — only sun-scorched steppes, rugged cliffs, and hardy vegetation that withstands wind and drought. The path winds along the ridge of the peninsula, going up and down to small coves with emerald waters. Travelers encounter fantastic basalt formations, observe seagulls and petrels, and with some luck — lizards or even rare Madeiran birds. The sense of space is overwhelming — on both sides, only sea and sky, and ahead — an endless horizon. The round-trip hike to the tip of the cape takes about 3–4 hours. Along the way, one can enjoy a picnic with a view of the turquoise waves and breathe in the iodine-rich air. At the end of the trail awaits a viewpoint with a panorama of the Deserted Islands and endless blue. Here you can truly feel at the edge of the world. For those interested, it is possible to descend to one of the small coves, swim in the crystal-clear water, or enjoy a moment of silence broken only by the sound of waves. Returning to civilization brings a sense of refreshment, pleasant fatigue, and awe. The day ends with dinner at one of the seafood restaurants in Caniçal, where freshly caught fish and seafood are served, and the sunset paints the sky crimson and violet.
On the third day, a new side of Madeira reveals itself — the kingdom of waterfalls, where clear streams paint vivid patterns against the backdrop of lush forests and moss-covered ravines. The hike begins early, when the air, rich in humidity, promises strong impressions. After a short drive to the northern slopes of the island, travelers reach the starting point of one of the most famous trails — Levada das 25 Fontes.

The path winds through laurel groves glistening with dew in the sunlight, inviting you to listen to the gentle murmur of streams. A light mist hugs the ground, and beneath the ancient canopy of trees, it feels like stepping into a fairy tale — as if magical creatures were hiding nearby. Along the way, views open up to twisting ravines, where slender waterfalls cascade from great heights, breaking into forest pools below. A truly magical moment is the encounter with Risco Waterfall: its waters plunge from a vertical cliff in a powerful, snow-white stream, splashing over rocks below. It feels as if nature itself is playing on giant organ pipes — the sound of the water fills the air, washing away the noise and fatigue of daily life. The trail leads further to the famous “25 Springs” — dozens of small streams flow from the gorge walls, creating an enchanting scene, and at their base lies a small lake where travelers can dip their hands and feel the invigorating power of the water. It's the perfect spot for a break and a picnic, surrounded by the scent of wet moss and crisp mountain air. For the most curious, the trail can lead to lesser-known waterfalls, rarely visited by tourists, where only ferns hang above the path, pierced by single rays of sunlight. Returning home, one feels as though they’ve visited a true green temple — a place of power, where nature reclaims its elemental magic. To finish the day: the beach and a delicious dinner.
On the fourth day, the group embarks on an unforgettable adventure to Achadas da Cruz — one of the most spectacular corners of Madeira, where the wild ocean meets inaccessible cliffs. Time slows down, and every minute spent among the elements gains a special kind of value.
See full description
The journey begins with a climb up a rocky plateau, offering breathtaking views of the Atlantic Ocean and lush green terraces cascading straight down to the sea. This is where the famous Achadas da Cruz cable car adventure begins. Small cabins glide slowly over the abyss, bringing pure joy: below — nearly 400 meters of open drop, around — the cries of seagulls, a fresh breeze, and the endless blue ocean. As you descend, stunning panoramas unfold: tiny gardens cultivated by locals on narrow terraces, waves crashing at the base of the cliffs, and secluded homes hidden among the greenery. This is a rare opportunity to witness how people have tamed the raw landscape and made a home in this wild yet beautiful place. At the bottom, you can walk along the shoreline — a place of almost primal silence, broken only by the sound of waves and whistling wind. You feel a complete harmony with nature: the sea, cliffs, and sky merge into one poetic image. The water is crystal-clear, the beach is strewn with round volcanic stones, and your gaze disappears into the distance where the ocean meets the horizon.
Achadas da Cruz is a place for meditation and contemplation. Here, you simply want to sit on a rock, inhale the salty breeze, listen to the music of the waves, and let your thoughts flow freely like seagulls in the sky. For those interested, a light picnic with local delicacies, a photoshoot against the backdrop of breathtaking landscapes, or a leisurely exploration of forgotten paths through the gardens is available. The return journey by cable car brings a new wave of excitement and joy. A feeling of lightness and happiness permeates, and the brightest moments of the day—gaining heights, encountering the elements, connecting with nature—will long remain in your memory. And as is often the case, for balance, we relax on the beach in the afternoon.
In the evening we decide together whether the guide will prepare a meal for everyone or whether we will go to a restaurant together.
The fifth day of the journey was full of contrasts: In the morning — silence and vastness at Bica da Cana, where the wind whispers old stories and carries distant echoes. In the afternoon — lively, colorful Santana, where the past meets the present, and traditions live on in every movement, object, and word.

The day begins at the foot of the mountains, where mist drifts lazily between the hills and the air is filled with freshness, as if nature itself were intent on inspiring and uplifting. Bica da Cana is one of the most picturesque places in Madeira, where you can truly feel like you're on the edge of heaven. Climbing the winding road, a panorama opens up that surpasses even your wildest expectations: the ocean shimmers in the distance, the mountain peaks are shrouded in a light mist, and below, forests and valleys stretch out like a mosaic. Here, at an altitude of over 1,600 meters, the wind is clearly felt. Gusts chase the clouds, play with the sun's rays, painting imaginative shadows on the grass and rocks. In moments like these, you simply want to stop – sit on a rock, take a deep breath, and let your eyes rest on the peaceful horizon.
The Bica da Cana trail is famous not only for its views but also for its unique flora. Among the rocks and shrubs grow relict laurel trees, rare endemic species, and colorful flowers that have survived despite strong winds. Occasionally, sheep appear on the trail, and if you're lucky, you might encounter a local shepherd, always eager to exchange a few friendly words and chat about the weather or life in this region. The plateau is a perfect place for a rest and a picnic: benches and viewpoints encourage lingering, appreciating every detail of the landscape. On an exceptionally clear day, you can glimpse not only Madeira but also the neighboring islands of the archipelago, while sunrise or sunset transforms Bica da Cana into a true watercolor painting of light and clouds. Santana – an open-air museum. After immersing yourself in nature, the trail leads to an equally extraordinary place – the Santana open-air museum, which showcases Madeiran culture and traditions. Here, amid emerald meadows and manicured gardens, stand the famous triangular thatched cottages – a symbol of the region, recognizable from postcards and souvenirs. The museum's exhibition is a true journey back in time. You can peek into a traditional cottage with small windows, wooden staircases, a cozy bedroom, and a modest kitchen, where the aroma of fresh baked goods and spices still lingers. Furniture and everyday objects have been carefully restored or collected from locals to illustrate how Madeira's inhabitants lived for generations: spinning linen, weaving carpets, making tools, and tending gardens.
One of the cottages houses a small workshop where local artisans showcase their skills: making dolls, embroidering tablecloths, or weaving traditional baskets. Visitors can not only watch the masters at work but also try their hand at weaving a small basket or decorating gingerbread. The area around Santana also boasts a botanical garden showcasing the island's main plant species and quiet nooks for relaxation. Children love strolling among the flowering shrubs and playing hide-and-seek between the cottages, while adults can find a quiet spot to jot down their impressions or sketch a small landscape in a notebook. In the evening, after a busy day, it's especially pleasant to be back in nature, browsing photos, sharing stories, and planning new routes. The bright Santana cottages and the panoramic views of Bica da Cana will long remain in the memory, reminding us of the beauty of discovery and the ability to appreciate what is most important: the harmony of nature and the human spirit.
Practical tips for this day
•Clothing should be versatile: on the Bica da Cana plateau it is often cold and windy, so it is worth taking a warm jacket, while in Santana it can be quite warm during the day.
•Don't forget your camera and a spare battery – the views will tempt you to take photos again and again.
•Be sure to try the local baked goods and homemade cider at Santana – it’s part of the whole travel experience.
•When traveling with children, the open-air museum is a great place to introduce them to history and culture, and the nature on Bica da Cana will make a lasting impression.
•Planning your route in advance: it is best to go to Bica da Cana in the morning to catch the clear sky and gentle light, and then walk leisurely to Santana in the afternoon.
Rich in contrasts and impressions, this day will forever remain in the heart of anyone who discovers the wonders of Madeira: the majesty of the mountains and the warmth of ancient traditions.
This is one of those days that stays with you — not for its intensity, but for the inner peace it brings. The trail to Caldera Verde is a journey of quiet wonder, walking in sync with the pulse of nature. The levada winds gently through moss-covered walls, ferns, and laurel trees, as water trickles beside your feet and sunlight filters through a green canopy. With every step, the air grows heavier with moisture, the scent of earth stronger, and the world quieter. Caldera Verde itself is a hidden sanctuary — a natural amphitheater embraced by towering cliffs and deep silence. Time slows down. There are no distractions here, only the sound of water and the soft rustle of leaves.

The morning of day six greets you with a gentle light, as the first rays of sunlight slowly filter through the dense laurel forests. Today's route leads to one of Madeira's most beautiful corners—Caldera Verde. The name itself promises an encounter with something green, vibrant, and full of the secrets of primeval nature.
The trail leads along a levada—a narrow channel through which babbling water winds along the mountain slopes. The slight chill gives way to warm patches of sunlight, and the air is filled with the scent of wet leaves and grass. Children marvel at the glistening drops on the ferns, while adults can't tear their gaze away from the steep cliffs and emerald slopes. At times, the trail passes through short tunnels, where a special silence reigns, with only their own breathing audible. After a few hours of leisurely walking, the trail's main treasure unfolds before their eyes—the circular bowl of Caldera Verde, immersed in lush greenery. Thin waterfalls weave along the sheer walls, spraying a delicate mist over the mosses and ferns. This is where you want to linger: to enjoy a picnic on the grass, watch the sun's rays dance on the water, and listen to the slow conversation between the wind and the leaves.
Tips before the hike
•Clothing: bring comfortable sneakers, a windbreaker and a hat – the path can be wet and slippery, and the weather is changeable.
•Camera: Don't forget an extra memory card - the beauty of these places cannot be fit into a regular album.
•Provisions: water and a light snack will be useful for an easy meal in nature.
•Family and children: the route is suitable for travelers with older children who like adventure and are not afraid of long walks.
