Depart from Funchal to Pico dos Barcelos.
The viewpoint at Pico dos Barcelos has one of the most dramatic views of Funchal and the surrounding areas.
Winding through the roads on the way to Eira do Serrado, you gasp in amazement at the road structure.
The next stop is Monte. We will visit the church “Nuestra Señora del Monte”, the public gardens and we will have a great experience to go down:
The Monte toboggan ride down towards Funchal city centre is perhaps one of the most famous of Madeira's tourist attractions. Go to almost any holiday website and you will read rave reviews describing the toboggan ride as one of those things that you simply must do.
Indeed, the American author, Ernest Hemingway, wrote of his journey in the wicker basket toboggan sled as the "most exhilarating experience" of his life. (this have a supplement).
You can choose go down by “cableway”, you will be treated to some wonderful views of Funchal and its harbour. Make sure you have your camera ready before you board the cabin. The time of the journey will simply fly by and you don't want to miss the opportunity of snapping that special photo!
Return to the Port or Hotel.
