Porto da Cruz

Highlight • Settlement

Beautiful village on the island of Madeira. At the foot of the Penha d'Aguia, it is nestled between the cliffs and the mountains. This is one of the common crossing points for all MIUT race formats.

A visit to the rum distillery is worthwhile.

We didn't find the entrance at the beginning of the tour....!! So be sure to check it again. In addition, we didn't walk the coastal path to Machico.... Nevertheless, I think it's a very nice tour 👍
