Begin your private tour at Pico do Areeiro, where the mountain’s grandeur meets the tranquility of silence. If conditions allow, take a short walk along the famous “Stairway to Heaven,” offering breathtaking views of the island’s central massif.
Continue to Ribeiro Frio, where the pure air of the laurel forest invites you to a peaceful stroll to the famous Balcões, a natural viewpoint with direct views of deep valleys and rugged peaks.
Next, head to Santana to discover the iconic thatched houses, visit the village centre, or explore places like the Madeira Theme Park or the charming Queimadas Park.
For lunch, enjoy traditional Madeiran dishes at a local restaurant, with specialities like espetada, fried cornmeal, or fresh fish, tailored to your group’s preferences.
After recharging, journey to the dramatic and less-explored northeast of Madeira, stopping at impressive viewpoints like Ponta do Sossego or Ponta da Madrugada, or in the rural areas of Faial or Porto da Cruz, where the island’s authentic side remains almost untouched by time.
End your tour by crossing the arid and exotic region of Ponta de São Lourenço, with lunar landscapes and impressive landforms plunging into the Atlantic.
