On the way to Christo Rei you can take a beautiful look down to the beach from the cable car. And in the distance you can see Funchal.

Garajau Cable Car to Garajau Beach

Highlight • Rest Area

The cable car leads directly from the parking lot to the Praia do Garajau. So if you like a cool down and want to save the way to the beach, with € 3.00 there;)

November 24, 2021,Rundwanderung Cristo de Rei von Caniço de Baixo

Nice circular hike also easily feasible when it rains. The way back, however, goes a long way along a road before it leads downhill at a levada.

Ok, I hiked the loop! For the Komoot community! You should know that the round sucks! Someone has to do the job 😉 I can't recommend the round! Except for the cliffs at the Cristo statue only road with a lot of traffic and nothing nice! 👎

An unexpectedly beautiful round starting at the hotel, along the coast to the Christo Rey statue, then in a wide arc around the town. With a lot of elevation gain and completely unexpected landscapes.
