Description

Embark on an unforgettable guided tour in a Tukxi, exploring the dramatic cliffs and stunning coastal landscapes of Cabo Girão and Fajã dos Padres. With a local guide at your side, this journey takes you along Madeira’s west coast, offering spectacular views, rich history, and unique experiences. Your adventure begins with a scenic drive through Funchal’s vibrant tourist district. As the cityscape fades, you’ll find yourself surrounded by lush banana plantations and breathtaking vistas of the Atlantic Ocean. Perched at 580 meters above sea level, Cabo Girão boasts one of the highest sea cliffs in the world. Step onto the famous glass skywalk and marvel at the sheer drop beneath your feet, where the rugged coastline and beach below create a truly awe-inspiring view. From Cabo Girão, your guide will take you westward, descending toward the Fajã dos Padres viewpoint. This hidden paradise, nestled beneath towering cliffs, offers one of the most striking landscapes on the island. For an even closer look, you can opt for a scenic cable car ride down to Fajã dos Padres itself. This secluded coastal haven, enclosed by a 250-meter-high cliff, enjoys a unique microclimate ideal for cultivating exotic fruits and rare crops. Its historical significance, lush agricultural terraces, and tranquil shoreline make it a fascinating place to explore. On your way back, a stop in Câmara de Lobos offers a chance to relax and soak in the authentic charm of Madeira’s fishing heritage. This picturesque village, once a favorite painting spot of Winston Churchill, is famous for its colorful boats, scenic bay, and steep hills dotted with traditional houses. Stroll through the village, learn about its rich history, and perhaps taste some local delicacies, such as the island’s renowned poncha or niquita cocktails.
