What To Expect

Camara De Lobos

Câmara de Lobos Fishing VillageDriving down into the bay of this charming village, you’ll see fishing boats all moored along the shore. These boats are used to catch the popular black scabbardfish (espada). The surrounding views, especially of the towering limestone cliffs of Cabo Girão, are truly stunning — it’s easy to understand why Sir Winston Churchill loved to paint here.The village's name comes from the many seals ("lobos marinhos") that once lived in the hidden rock caves along the coast. Câmara de Lobos is also known for Poncha, our traditional local drink made with sugarcane rum, honey, and lemon — a favorite in the region.As you continue driving to the next attractions, you’ll pass through landscapes filled with banana plantations, vineyards, and terraced gardens, with houses perched on cliffs and carved into the hillsides.

Levada do Paul da Serra

Paul da Serra – Madeira’s High Plateau at 1,550mAt an altitude of 1,550 meters, Paul da Serra is Madeira’s largest and flattest plateau, offering a dramatic contrast to the island’s rugged terrain. Here, you can see small irrigation channels (mini-levadas) feeding into the main levada system, which distributes water across the island. This open landscape is surrounded by low vegetation, and during the rainy season, it often fills with water, forming temporary lakes.In winter, this area can be covered with snow, creating a scene that’s almost like a perfect winter postcard. Natural springs and waterfalls are another highlight, adding to the beauty of the region. On clear winter days, the skies may be decorated with colorful rainbows, a magical sight in this elevated wilderness.Note: This tour does not include any levada walks — it’s a scenic drive and photo stop experience.
