As you criss-cross Madeira, you'll see how quickly the landscape of such a small island changes dramatically. On the north coast, you'll see the volcanic fishing village of Porto Moniz, while to the south, Camara de Lobos hides under the towering sea cliff of Cabo Girao, which dominates the scenery. Local guide, Monica, says, “it's a tour with a small group, which is the best way to discover ancient paths, hidden villages and unexplored viewpoints on the island.”
It may surprise you that Madeira's sub-tropical climate and volcanic soil make it ideal for growing bananas. At your first stop in the village of Ponta do Sol, you'll visit the local banana museum, taste their goodies and learn more about the area's history of farming. Then, it's over to the north side of the island. Prepare to feel like you're on top of the world as you're driven over the largest plateau on the island, Paul da Serra, with an average altitude of 1,500 meters – that's like four Empire State Buildings stacked on top of each other.
Recover from the views and head to Porto Moniz, a village that tumbles down the green hills to the coast. Monica adds, “the natural pools put Porto Moniz on the map, so taking a dip in these iconic swim spots is a must.” Dry off and continue along the coast to Sao Vicente for lunch, before finishing on a high – literally. Cabo Girao is the highest sea cliff in the world, standing at 580 metres, offering unbeatable views of the North Atlantic Ocean.
