world and the highest sea cliff in Europe.

valleys of Serra D'Água. You will then reach Encumeada a special place at the top of the
valley where you will be met with an incredible view of both the south and the north coast
of our beautiful island.
From sea-level in Funchal, we cross the mountain pass (from where both sides of the island
are visible) down to the rugged beauty of the north coast, where Atlantic rollers describe a
line of white surf below heroic cliffs.

coast of Madeira. Our next stop is at the beautiful village of Porto Moniz where you will

original forest to the last home of Madeira's emblematic straw-roofed houses. Passing
pretty villages and stunning seascapes, we arrive at the very eastern point for some superb
views of the bold north and sunny south coasts in one panoramic vista.......
On the northern slopes of the island the tour reaches a popular starting point for 'levada'
walks, Ribeiro Frio. With its interesting trout pools, this area still has much of its original
vegetation. The island was once completely covered by 'Laurissilva' forest, a relic from
prehistoric times.
Time for lunch in Santana that is characterised by its small thatched triangular houses.
Then we will go towards Ponta de São Lourenço, situated in the eastern part of the island,
this is the place where a fantastic combination of rocks, sea and nature combine.
