Madeira! Enjoy the natural beauty of this island, the glorious colour of the plants and trees, the stunning spectacle of the bougainvillea, mimosa and the bird-of-paradise hedges.
Madeira has contrasting landscapes with coastal delights and a mountainous centre.
Take a walk alongside a Levada, the constructed ‘streams’ that irrigate the island. These man-made water systems are responsible for the prosperity of Madeira. Often cut through solid rock, with primitive tools, these aqueducts are an engineering miracle bringing water from the mountains to the fields and towns of the coast.
Explore the Madeira capital of Funchal with its narrow streets, fish, fruit and flower markets.
Sample the delights of the local Maderia wine company or, if you are feeling crafty, the embroidery factory. Energy to spare? Take a look around the Madeira Botanical Gardens.
Madeira is the home of the second highest sea cliff in the world, at Cabo Girao, take a peek!
If you are near Monte then the famous toboggan ride down to Livramento is a must.
Madeira awaits you!
