Monte Tour Showcases Madeira’s Gardens, Culture, and Historic Toboggan Ride


A guided excursion through Monte is offering visitors an opportunity to experience one of Madeira’s most celebrated parishes, where historic landmarks, botanical gardens, and cultural attractions come together. Beginning in the historic center of Funchal, the tour traces a scenic route into the island’s lush mountain landscape.


The journey leads to the renowned Church of Our Lady of Monte, a landmark known for its religious and cultural significance. Surrounded by gardens and panoramic viewpoints, the church provides a peaceful setting while offering visitors insight into one of Madeira’s most cherished pilgrimage sites.


Guests then explore the expansive Monte Palace Madeira, where winding pathways, exotic plants, ornamental lakes, and landscaped gardens create a tranquil retreat. The visit also includes time to discover the Monte Palace Museum, featuring collections of sculptures, rare minerals, and African-inspired artwork displayed throughout the historic estate.


The experience concludes with Madeira’s famous Monte toboggan ride, a traditional downhill journey that has delighted visitors since the nineteenth century. Guided by skilled carreiros, the iconic wicker sleds descend toward Funchal, providing an exciting finale to a tour that combines history, culture, nature, and one of the island’s most distinctive traditions.
