Local Farmers Market and 4WD Experience from Funchal

Sundays are a perfect time to join this authentic half-day 4WD experience, offering a unique opportunity to connect with local Madeirans and witness the island's vibrant rural culture. This tour, available both in the morning and afternoon, includes a visit to the traditional farmers’ market in Santo da Serra—a lively gathering place where local farmers sell fresh fruits, vegetables, homemade bread, regional liqueurs, and herbal infusions. This is not a market staged for tourists, but a real local shopping spot where the "madeirenses" come every week to purchase their essentials and socialize, giving visitors a true taste of Madeiran life.

Beyond the market, the tour takes you off the beaten path to explore some of the region’s most scenic and culturally rich areas. You'll stop at the impressive Christ the King viewpoint, offering sweeping vistas of the Atlantic Ocean and the coastal landscape below. The journey continues through Santa Cruz and into remote areas like Morena, where steep and winding roads lead to hidden villages and dramatic terraced landscapes. With an experienced guide and the thrill of an open-top 4x4 vehicle, this tour offers an exciting and immersive way to discover the natural beauty, culture, and community spirit of Madeira.
