Enjoy panoramic views of valleys, ridges, and volcanic landscapes

Walk Ribeiro Frio levada trail through UNESCO Laurissilva forest

East Madeira Island Tour Showcases Peaks, Forests, and Coastal Cliffs


A guided exploration of Madeira’s eastern region is offering visitors a full-day journey through some of the island’s most dramatic landscapes, combining mountain viewpoints, ancient forests, and rugged coastal scenery. Departing from Funchal, the route highlights the natural diversity and cultural heritage that define the island.


The experience begins at Pico do Arieiro, the island’s third-highest peak at 1,818 meters. From this elevated viewpoint, visitors can take in sweeping panoramas of mountain ridges, deep valleys, and shifting cloudscapes that characterize Madeira’s volcanic terrain.


The journey then continues to Ribeiro Frio, where a guided levada walk through the UNESCO-listed Laurissilva forest offers a closer look at the island’s unique ecosystem. The shaded trails provide opportunities to observe native birdlife and experience the quiet atmosphere of one of Madeira’s most important natural habitats.


After a traditional meal in Santana, known for its distinctive thatched-roof houses, the tour moves on to the Miradouro Guindaste glass viewpoint and concludes at Ponta de São Lourenço. Here, dramatic cliffs and Atlantic waves create a striking finale, capturing the island’s raw coastal beauty in a single panoramic sweep.

Spectacular. €5 for all day at middle car park. We arrived at 6:45 and had to park in this one. We visited in October and sunrise was at 8:13. We preferred the hill below the top point to watch the sunrise as it’s less crowded.

Am amazing hike with spectacular views. Either you get to walk in the clouds in misty mountains or you get the see the spectacular cliffs vertically falling down into the valley below. The track is super well maintained and even without the connection to the Pico Ruivo the hike is a gem. We spent 3h just because we admired the scenery so much. Madeira Mist see for a very good reason
