São Jorge

Through the Unspoiled North of Madeira

Our tour starts at Achada do Felpa. On forest and forest paths, under laurel and eucalyptus trees, it goes at 837 m with a view of Madeira’s mountains and again and again the coast to São Jorge. We make a stop at an approx. 300-year-old water-powered grain mill.

Our journey begins in Achada da Felpa in São Jorge, where we ride through lush laurel and eucalyptus forests at 840 m altitude towards Boca das Voltas. From here, we are rewarded with breathtaking views of the rugged north coast. The adventure continues to the charming village of Ribeira Funda, where we visit a 300-year-old flour mill, a glimpse into Madeira’s rich history. Finally, we descend all the way to sea level, arriving at the stunning Calhau de São Jorge, where the wild beauty of the Atlantic awaits.
