Cliffside Trail on Madeira

Highlight • Trail

Very nice path. Sometimes you need a bit of courage when there is no barrier, but in principle the path is always wide enough.

Caminho da Entrosa: View from the Cliffs

Highlight • Viewpoint

The Caminho do Entrosa on Madeira is a quiet and impressive high-altitude trail that winds along the rugged north coast between the villages of Arco de São Jorge and Boaventura. This old cobblestone path runs high above the Atlantic Ocean at an altitude of approximately 380 meters, offering spectacular cliff views while the sea crashes against the rocks far below. This section combines landscape, history, and views in a particularly striking way – a perfect opportunity for those who want to peacefully enjoy a spectacular coastal panorama.

Old Path to the Ruins

Highlight • Trail

The old path to the ruins near ArcodeSãoJorge follows a traditional route that once connected the coastal village with the abandoned sugar factory. The path, paved with rough stones, winds through dense forest, past fields and old walls, and still evokes the atmosphere of bygone days. Sure footing and sturdy footwear are recommended – in return, you'll be rewarded with tranquility, history, and a captivating natural experience.

Stone Bridge in the Valley

Highlight • Bridge

The old stone bridge in the valley on Madeira spans a clear stream and connects narrow paths through the mountainous landscape. The sturdy structure, built from roughly hewn stones, seems like a time capsule, conveying the impression of centuries-old infrastructure for shepherds and hikers. Surrounded by lush greenery and the sound of rushing water, the bridge is an ideal spot for a short rest, offering a view of both nature and history.

Viewpoint at Arco da Calheta Cliffs

Highlight • Viewpoint

The viewpoint on the cliffs of Arco da Calheta offers a breathtaking view over the northwest coast of Madeira: rugged cliffs that drop directly into the deep blue sea, green mountain ridges and a wide horizon create a dramatic scene that invites you to linger and take photographs.
