Highlights
- Cabo Girao - Enjoy the panoramic views: Cabo Girão offers breathtaking panoramic views of the Atlantic Ocean, Funchal, and the surrounding areas. Take a moment to appreciate the beauty and vastness of the scenery. Walk on the Skywalk Platform: The Skywalk is a glass platform that extends out over the cliff edge, giving you the feeling of walking on air. It provides a unique perspective and allows for impressive photo opportunities. Besides the Skywalk, there are several viewpoints located at different levels of the cliff. Take your time to explore each one and find your favorite spot to take in the magnificent views. - Quinta Grande - Quinta Grande has a long history that dates back several centuries. The name “Quinta Grande” translates to “Big Estate” in English, indicating its historical association with agricultural land and estates. During the early colonization of Madeira in the 15th century, Quinta Grande played a role in the cultivation and production of goods such as sugarcane, vineyards, and cereals. These agricultural products contributed to the economic prosperity of the island at that time. Quinta Grande also witnessed significant developments in the 19th century when Madeira experienced the growth of tourism and the exportation of its natural resources. The town became a popular destination for visitors seeking scenic beauty and a relaxing atmosphere. - Campanario - Campanário is a coastal village located near Quinta Grande on the southwestern coast of Madeira. Like Quinta Grande, Campanário has a history rooted in agriculture, fishing, and maritime traditions. The village gets its name from the bell tower (“Campainha” in Portuguese) of the local church, which was historically used to announce events, warn of danger, or summon the community. Campanário’s development as a fishing village dates back centuries, with its residents relying on fishing as a means of livelihood. The sea provided abundant resources such as fish and seafood, contributing to the sustenance of the local community. - Ribeira Brava - Ribeira Brava, Meia Légua, and Serra de Água are three places located on the beautiful island of Madeira, Portugal, each with its own unique history. Here’s a brief overview of their histories: Ribeira Brava, which translates to “Wild River” in English, is a charming town situated on the southern coast of Madeira. It has a rich history dating back to the early colonization of the island. Founded in the 15th century, Ribeira Brava was initially established as a small settlement and gradually grew into an important agricultural and trading center. The name of the town comes from the river that flows through it, which was characterized by its strong and wild currents. - Serra de Agua - Meia Légua is a rural area located between Ribeira Brava and Serra de Água in Madeira. Historically, a “Légua” was a unit of distance measurement, and “Meia Légua” translates to “Half a League” in English. Meia Légua, known for its serene countryside and lush landscapes, has a primarily agricultural history. The area is characterized by terraced fields carved into the hillsides, used for cultivating crops like vineyards, bananas, and other fruits. Serra de Água, which translates to “Water Mountains” in English, is a scenic village situated in the central part of Madeira, surrounded by mountains and picturesque valleys. The name Serra de Água likely comes from the streams and rivers that flow through the area, providing a reliable water source for irrigation and farming. - Sao Vicente - São Vicente, Rota da Cal, Rosário, and Quinta do Barbusano are distinct places that hold historical significance within the context of the island of Madeira, Portugal. São Vicente also played a significant role in religious and cultural developments on the island. Today, it is known for its charming streets, colorful houses, and historical landmarks such as the Church of São Vicente, which serves as a reminder of the town’s centuries-old heritage. - Museum Centre - The Lime Route - Rota da Cal, which translates to “Lime Route” in English, is a cultural and historical trail located in the municipality of Calheta on the island of Madeira. This trail showcases the traditional lime kilns (forno da cal) used for the production of lime in the past. Lime production was an important industry in Madeira, used for various purposes such as construction, agriculture, and crafts. The Rota da Cal provides visitors with insight into this historical trade and the process of lime production. - Quinta Do Barbusano - Quinta do Barbusano refers to a vineyard (quinta) located in Madeira. While the specific historical details of this vineyard are not readily available, it is known that Madeira has a long tradition of viticulture, dating back to the early settlers who first cultivated vineyards on the island. Wine production, particularly the famed Madeira wine, has been a significant component of Madeira’s history and economy. Vineyards like Quinta do Barbusano contribute to this historical legacy and showcase the importance of wine production on the island. Exploring vineyards such as Quinta do Barbusano provides visitors with an opportunity to learn about Madeira’s winemaking process, sample local wines, and appreciate the beautiful vineyard landscapes.

Wonderful 1/2 day jeep tour! - We loved our jeep tour! Lino was our driver and did a great job. First we went to the skywalk, a 539 foot tall sea cliff. We could see so much of the island. Then a nice jeep ride to Ribiera Bravo and beyond,to a winery where we had a tour of the winery,and tasted 6 of their table wines. Yum.

Offroad & Wine: A great combination! - What an amazing way to spend a few hours! Our tour guide Lino picked us up and took us on an excursion of fun. While touring the island, he dove into the island's history, culture and lifestyle, followed by a road less traveled through vineyards and on to two-track trails before eventually capping things off at a Northside winery. It was a great way to start the day, and still be able to be back in Funchal in time for lunch and relaxation.
