Get ready to explore the enchanting landscapes of eastern Madeira. This full-day tour embodies sustainable travel, showcasing Madeira's culture, traditions, and spirit, leaving you with memories to cherish forever.

Your adventure starts at Pico do Areeiro, one of Madeira's highest peaks at 1,818 meters, where you'll get the chance to enjoy panoramic views of deep valleys and majestic peaks, feeling a profound connection to nature. Next, embark on the Levada dos Balcões walk through the lush Laurissilva forest, a UNESCO World Heritage site.

In Porto da Cruz, visit a traditional rum distillery, where you'll witness time-honored processes that have made Madeira's rum famous worldwide.

Finally, the adventure concludes at Ponta de São Lourenço, a rugged peninsula with volcanic colors and dramatic cliffs, offering stunning views of both coasts—a fitting end to your journey through this incredible island.
