About this tour

This walk is considered one of the most beautiful along the island of Madeira because, besides being a walk of moderate difficulty, it is a walk where it is possible to dazzle the landscapes of the north and south coast of the island. In addition, weather permitting, it is possible to view the island of Porto Santo to the north and the Desertas Islands to the south, islands belonging to the Madeira Archipelago. At the end of the walk, you can rest at Sardinha's house (home belonging to the watchmen of the Natural Park of Madeira) or even, if the weather permits, take a dip in the crystal clear waters at Sardinha's pier. The return is made by the same track.
