This tour is often described as simple but sturdy footwear and good condition is required.

a rewarding tour with great views, but a bit of a head for heights you should already be

The Ponta de São Lourenço is the easternmost peninsula in Madeira. It is 9 km long and 2 km wide, including the two islets lhéu da Cevada and Ilhéu da Ponta de São Lourenço. This area was declared a nature reserve in 1982 with the aim of preserving its fauna, flora and geological heritage. The vegetation on the Ponta de São Lourenço is very characteristic and unique within the Macaronesia area due to the numerous endemic plants. In addition to lush vegetation, you can also find many species of birds and even some sea lions in this nature reserve.

here edible fish are bred in the sea. Those who are very hungry can try to swim to the nets and grab one.

Very nice tour with many great views, the last part is a bit exhausting.

Barren, rocky landscape with a beautiful view. Unfortunately a bit crowded, so I recommend starting earlier.

It is best to come by in the early hours of the morning as there is no rush of tourists and you have the wild nature to yourself. Later in the day, however, the light is better for taking photos.

Yes, it goes down steeply here. You can throw stones or let your gaze wander over the landscape

Absolutely recommendable in the early hours of the morning, because from noon the tourists disturb the peace and solitude. You get the better photos in the afternoon or on the way back from the round, because then the sun is higher.
