Vereda do Fanal

From49€/pp

A Walk Through Madeira’s Enchanted Forest

Starting at Pico da Fajã (1340 m), we hike across the plateau of Paul da Serra, with breathtaking views over Rabaçal and Chão da Ribeira. The trail takes us through open heathland and dense Laurissilva forest, leading to Fanal, where 500-year-old stinkberry trees create a mystical, fairytale-like setting.

Our journey continues to Porto Moniz, where the rugged northwest coast meets the wild Atlantic. Watch the waves crash against the cliffs or take a refreshing dip in the famous natural pools—don’t forget your swimwear!

Hotel transfers included for a seamless experience.
