Paul da Serra – Ribeira da Janela

From59€/pp

From the High Plateau to the North Coast (4 participants minimum)

The bus takes us to the Paul da Serra plateau. Here we have fantastic views of the Ribeira Brava and São Vicente valleys and the Massif Central.

We bike under laurel trees that are several hundred years old. Then comes the descent to Ribeira da Janela. From there you can take the bus back to Caniço de Baixo.

Our adventure begins with a breathtaking view over the Valley of Serra de Água before we ride along forest trails to Bica da Cana. Heading northwest, we reach Fanal (a UNESCO heritage site), known as one of Madeira’s most mystical places.

The journey then takes us on a thrilling descent through Ribeira da Janela, ending at sea level with stunning views of the dramatic north coast. An unforgettable experience from the mountains to the ocean!
