Embark on a journey through time as you follow this historic footpath, once traversed by the island’s early inhabitants as they moved between Machico and Porto da Cruz. This remarkable trail weaves through rugged landscapes, offering a perfect blend of history, natural beauty, and breathtaking coastal views.
Your adventure begins at Pico do Facho, gradually ascending toward the Boca do Risco viewpoint, where you will be rewarded with awe-inspiring panoramas of Madeira’s dramatic north coast. Here, the vast Atlantic stretches endlessly before you, while the towering cliffs create a striking contrast between land and sea, a sight that will leave you spellbound.
The path then leads you towards Larano, where the untouched beauty of the coastline unfolds in all its splendor. The raw power of the ocean meeting the lush, rugged terrain makes for an experience that is both exhilarating and unforgettable.
This is more than just a walk; it is an invitation to connect with Madeira’s past and marvel at its untamed beauty—a journey that lingers in your memory long after your footsteps fade.
