Additional Information

Journey to Eira do Serrado, home to one of the most unique and stunning vistas, establishing itself as a highly valued ‘green’ area in Madeira.

The trip to the Nuns Valley (Curral da Freiras) village will take about 20 minutes, during which visitors will bask in the rural scenery, forest undergrowth intertwined with areas inhabited by charming traditional Madeiran houses. The village’s isolation is evident, with residents largely depending on their agricultural produce. The locally grown chestnuts are delightful and a staple in daily cuisine.

Upon your return, take a halt at the striking fishing hamlet of Câmara de Lobos. This is where Winston Churchill painted his beautiful landscapes, and where you can taste the famous local concoction, Poncha.

Great trip - Lovely afternoon out with 3 fantastic stops! Can’t beat it for the price either so cheap for what you get. Picked up and dropped off at our hotel. Small group. Tour guide was very knowledgable and friendly. He told us a lot about the island as we were driving around

Stunning views - Stunning views of Nuns Valley from pico do Serrado. Perfectly clear skies down to valley though cloudy in Funchal. Sat up at the front with the driver. Found dual language (info in Portuguese and English) less restful as more talking. Highly recommend however.

Interesting tour - Pleasant enough tour and well hosted. Fairly short stops of 30 mins at each location. Just enough time to get a drink, take photos, buy souvenirs, or look round the small museum there
