Additional Information

Exiting the urban area, we’re setting a course for the western region of the island, specifically the stunning Serra d ́Agua valley. We traverse the valley to ascend towards the Encumeada pass, positioned 1000 meters above sea level, revealing extraordinary views of the North and South coastlines and the Ribeira Brava and São Vicente valleys.

Following this fantastic pitstop for photographs, our journey continues downwards into Unesco’s most expansive laurel forest, ‘Laurissilva’. On reaching the petite village of Lameiros, we embark on an exciting journey using our memorable Open Roof Land Rovers on the track well-trodden through the ‘Laurissilva’ forest, getting up close with its Fauna and Flora.

Our path diverges from the conventional road to encounter the gorgeous northern vineyards, culminating in a unique tasting session of a variety of Madeira table wines, accompanied by some tapas.
