Cabo Girão Off-Roading Tour
Description
Experience the thrill of reaching the top of the Cabo Girão viewpoint on this guided journey. Take in breathtaking views of Funchal and dare to look down through the glass skywalk beneath your feet. To conclude this memorable excursion, enjoy a taste of Poncha and other typical Portuguese beverages.
Tour Details
At the agreed time, you'll be collected from your hotel in Funchal in a 4x4 vehicle and set off towards Cabo Girão.
This location features a staggering 500-meter vertical cliff with steep slopes and incredible vistas. Cabo Girão is a must-see when touring Madeira, and upon reaching the viewpoint, you will see why this trek is worthwhile.
From the summit, savor the astonishing views of Madeira alongside the vast Atlantic Ocean. For those seeking a rush, the glass walkway at Girão's peak offers a thrilling encounter with the scenery. The stunning drop and amazing vistas are sure to invigorate your senses.
Our journey then takes us to the Boca da Corrida viewpoint, located at a height of 1,000 meters, where you'll admire Curral das Freiras, known as the valley of the monks. This idyllic spot presents magnificent views of surrounding mountains, providing a sense of peace within this wild landscape.
As we arrive at Câmara de Lobos, you'll explore the coastal charm of Madeira. This historic fishing village showcases the importance of the ocean in local life. Keep your camera ready to capture the vibrant colors of this delightful area.
On our way to Câmara de Lobos, we'll stroll through Estreito de Câmara de Lobos, where vineyards and banana plantations embrace us. This locale is famed for its traditional taverns, and no visit would be complete without stopping at a bar to sample poncha, nikita, ginja, and Madeira wine—a perfect finale to our tour!
After enjoying the day, we will return you to your original pickup location.
