Visit to the capital to admire its famed monuments, wander in the narrow little streets of the old town and discover its famous market (Mercado dos Lavradores). After a visit to the botanical garden, stop by a cellar for a tasting of Madeiran wine.

The route begins at the Camacha, a basketwork centre, and continues towards the top of the island - stunning panorama guaranteed! - up to the third summit of Madeira, the Pico do Arieiro (1,818 m). We will go through the national park as far as Ribeiro Frio and its trout farm before going along the north coast, through Faial and on to Santana with its little thatched-roofed houses. You will enjoy an excellent lunch. Departure for Porto da Cruz (Eagle Rock), via the terraced fields typical of the region and the Portela pass towards the eastern point of Ponta de São Lourenço, from which you can admire the magnificent panoramas and the view of the Desertas islands.

From Funchal you will travel to the charming fishing village of Câmara de Lobos, then to the second highest headland in the world: Cabo Girão, standing at a dizzying height of 580 m and offering an unparalleled view. After the visit to Ribeira Brava, we will cross the Encumeada pass on the way to São Vicente. A moving experience before the force of the Atlantic Ocean crashing against the north coast. Along the craggy route you can admire the waterfall known as the ‘Bridal Veil’. In Porto Moniz, visit to the natural pools carved into the lava by erosion, then lunch break. You will then be ready to take on the nature reserve on the high plateau of Paul da Serra. Return to the hotel.

Located 40 km north-east of Madeira, the island of Porto Santo stands in total contrast with its neighbour. Much smaller (42 km²) and more sparsely populated (4,300 inhabitants), it is made up of a large plain where some peaks rise to the north-east and south-east, the highest of which, Pico do Facho, stands at just 517 m. Aside from winter, when its fields are green thanks to the humidity, its limestone soil and lack of vegetation give it the ochre colour of a desert. A huge golden sand beach that runs along the south coast for more than 7 km and a mild climate (average annual temperature 19°C), draw tourists to this quiet island. The inhabitants of Porto Santo live off of fishing and several crops (cereals, tomatoes, melons, watermelons and figs). The vines produce an excellent, very sweet white wine.
