    Tips

    March 2, 2016

    The coastal path from Canical to Porto da Cruz is one of the most impressive routes we know. The path was formerly used by winemakers to bring the must from the north coast to the port of Machico.

    Steep cliffs open up a fabulous view of the coast up to 300 meters below.

    Attention: Free from dizziness. In heavy rain, the route should NOT be gone.

    Rope-protected key point approx. 2 km after the Boca do Risco at a waterfall. In good weather, no problem, in bad weather, it may be that the waterfall on the way down and missed a shower.
