Overview

If you are looking to discover the North and South of Madeira Island while walking, this is the best recommendation for you.

Visiting the famous natural pools of Porto Moniz, crossing the old paths and tunnels of the North Coast, and stopping for a typical lunch, will turn this day into an eternal memory.

The walk takes us to the interior of the Ribeira da Janela valley, coming back to the south while passing through Paul da Serra at 1500 meters above sea level.

On the south we visit Calheta and Ponta de Sol and a magnificent waterfall that falls directly on the road, stopping to taste the famous and typical Poncha (rum, lemon, orange, and honey), and completing the tour at Cabo Girão Skywalk, with a magnificent view over the Atlantic Ocean and the cities to the south while suspended on a glass platform at 580 meters of altitude.
