Southwest Tour

If you are visiting Madeira for the first time or even if you have visited us countless times, this tour is ideal for you. The southwest tour is a complement to the most popular ones, providing unique views and diverse landscapes, where the charms of Madeira are always present.

Our itinerary is designed to be away from the crowds, and we will use old and secondary roads to enjoy breathtaking and unique views.

The selected villages will be between Ponta do Sol and Ponta do Pargo, the westernmost part of the Island and the passage through some villages such as Fajã da Ovelha, Paúl do Mar and Calheta will be the highlights of our 4x4 tour including ascending into the mountains up to 1.241 meters and then an off-road to sea level.

From Funchal, we will take some time until we reach Ponta do Sol, passing through Canhas to Arco da Calheta, our initial stop. What way to start this Jeep tour with a magnificent and panoramic view of Madalena do Mar and Caheta, being the banana terraces and valleys an extra.

Discovering the rural areas up to Prazeres, where agriculture is highly present, but there are many abandoned terraces from recent years that have preserved their past beauty. After riding up to the mountain, we begin a great off-road to the sea level, where will experience plenty of excitement and adrenaline.

We will stop at Ponta do Pargo after our off-road adventure not only for the scenery, but also because it is the westernmost point of the Island a must-stop. There is an optional lunch break, and you will have the opportunity to enjoy our gastronomy in a typical restaurant.

Passing Through secondary and remote roads, where we will have the privilege of going through some old tunnels, we will pass through Fajã da Ovelha and reach a charming fishing village, Paúl do Mar.

We will start our journey back, passing through places such as the Jardim do Mar and Calheta, which will be our last stop before returning to Funchal.
