West Tour Porto Moniz

Experience the warmth of the island's southernmost region by exploring its scenic beauty, rich cultural heritage, and authentic local traditions.

We embark on our journey toward Câmara de Lobos, an idyllic fishing village renowned for its picturesque landscapes, followed by a detour to the scenic Cabo Girão viewpoint (altitude: 589 meters), which has been recently designated as a natural monument. Proceeding further, we proceed to Ribeira Brava, where visitors may explore the local market and enjoy the promenade's charm.

Continuing our route, we traverse the southern coastline, encountering the charming town of Ponta de Sol en route. Our journey culminates in the ascent to the Paúl da Serra plateau (elevation: 1400 meters), offering breathtaking vistas from this elevated vantage point overlooking both the northern and southern coastlines of the island.

Upon reaching Porto Moniz, the farthest northwest point of the island, we pause briefly to appreciate the island's iconic natural swimming pools. Following this break, we proceed back to the north coast, navigating past Seixal and pausing to admire the Véu da Noiva waterfall before continuing onward towards São Vicente, a verdant municipality.

Finally, returning to the south coast, we venture into areas rich in native vegetation until we reach the Miradouro da Boca da Encumeada, providing panoramic views stretching across the islands' northern and southern coastal valleys. Upon arriving back in Funchal, our journey concludes.
