Ecotour & Santana
From Funchal, we go uphill to Pico do Arieiro at 1818m, to enjoy magnificent landscapes and great views over Madeira and Porto Santo islands. Then heading to the north side of the island, we will pass through Ribeiro Frio, surrounded by Laurissilva Forest and beautiful evergreen mountains.
Continuing, we will experience a nice off-road toward one of the most emblematic towns in the island, Santana, known by its triangular houses, which served locals for centuries as dwellings and stables. After a lunch stop (not included) we will visit a very traditional Rum Distillery in Porto da Cruz.
Finally, we will stop at Pico do Facho viewpoint, to enjoy amazing views over Ponta de São Lourenço and Machico valley. Machico was the first Capital of Madeira when the first explorers arrived on the island.
