Miradouro São Sebastião: breathtaking views
Our first stop is Ribeira Brava, Get your (smartphone) cameras ready, because we stop at the Miradouro São Sebastião, which gives us a great view over the whole of Ribeira Brava.
Ponta do Sol: coffee time!
Afterwards, we will have a short stop for a get together and explain the day's plan. Of course, not without a strong coffee (Bica or Garoto) to fuel up for the day.
Let's hike: Levada Nova and Moinhos
Lace up your boots, because our Levada Walk is about to start! The hike along the Levada Nova and Moinhos leads us through dense greenery, past small waterfalls and in parts over narrow paths that are high up - that's why we recommend this hike for people who are free from giddiness. But we promise: the fantastic view makes up for everything! And we have also provided for a small picnic with local snacks on the way.
Waterfall ahead in Ponta do Sol: Cascata dos Anjos (only with good weather)
We made it! We reach Ponta do Sol, a colorful coastal village and the warmest place on the island. The small colorful village has to be explored, of course. Enjoy the summer vibes! Our highlight here: we discover the Insta-Famous waterfall, which falls directly on the street – a very unique Madeira-Experience! Be sure you have your camera ready to capture this beautiful scenery. The waterfall is surrounded by an incredible cliff and the landscape offers a stunning ocean view as well.
Poncha time!
We wouldn't be Heartbeat Madeira if we didn't toast to our hike today: Poncha Time - cheers to us! If you like, also try one of the craft beers the place is known for. After all, it's your vacation!
Drop Off in Funchal: cheers to new adventures
The day is coming to an end, we are heading back to Funchal. If you'd like, we'd be happy to recommend our favorite poncha bars where you can toast the day with your tour buddies.
