Madeira - Best of the East Tour
Visão Geral do Tour
Our first stop is Terreiro da Luta and continues towards the mountain Pico do Arieiro. At an altitude of 1818 meters, it is the third highest peak on the island and affords breathtaking views.
After visiting the highest peak in Madeira, we head down to the coast through the 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, surrounded by its small thatched triangular houses.
Then we will go towards Ponta de São Lourenço, situated on the eastern part of the island, this is the place where a fantastic combination of rocks, sea, and nature combine.
The last town to be visited is Machico, a point of view where you can look over the bay and the golden sandy beach.

Avaliações de Clientes
A excursão foi muito bem organizada, o guia foi muito simpático e comentou os pontos altos de cada ponto que visitámos. O único aspeto negativo foi que havia alguns miúdos no grupo que não estavam interessados no que o guia estava a dizer e não paravam de falar enquanto o guia comentava, perturbando o resto do grupo.
