• Belvedere Du Terreiro Da Luta - The landscape surrounding the Terreiro da Luta Viewpoint is characterized by the vibrant mosaic of Funchal. In the distance, the city’s renowned bay unfolds, bordered by the expansive Atlantic Ocean.

Visiting the Terreiro da Luta Viewpoint is rewarding not only for its breathtaking view but also for the historical landmark located there: the Nossa Senhora da Paz Sanctuary, the island’s largest monument, standing at five meters tall.

Designed by architect Emanuel Ribeiro, the monument was built as a promise fulfilled by the people of Madeira during the German submarine attacks on Funchal in 1917. Crafted from marble, this statue honoring Nossa Senhora do Monte is a treasured part of the island’s cultural and emotional heritage.

• Pico do Arieiro - Next, head uphill towards Pico Arieiro, standing at 1818 meters (5965 feet). It is the third highest peak in Madeira. As you ascend, the lush woodland transitions to bare rock. There are magnificent views over a seemingly endless series of sharp ridges and steep cliffs. Cotton-like clouds linger in the valleys.
• Balcoes de Ribeiro Frio - Continuing from Pico Arieiro, journey uphill through small terraces lining the road, where various fruits can be found, until reaching Ribeiro Frio, a charming spot nestled in the Laurissilva forest. This forest was designated a World Heritage site by UNESCO in 1999. Here, you can enjoy the Balcoes levada walk.
• Santana - Santana presents a scene of domestic and agricultural prosperity. The predominant color is the green of terraced fields and hay meadows, interspersed with apple, pear, and cherry orchards. Among the haystacks are triangular thatched buildings, traditionally used by local farmers as cow sheds. People once lived in these ingenious structures. Visitors will discover the spaciousness of the Santana ‘A’ farmed buildings during a visit.
• Miradouro do Guindaste - Situated on one of the slopes of Foz da Ribeira do Faial in the Santana municipality, the Guindaste viewpoint offers a spectacular view of Madeira’s stunning north coast. This location is ideal for admiring the majestic Atlantic Ocean that surrounds the island.

Famed for the remarkable beauty of its surroundings, this viewpoint provides an idyllic scene where lush green mountains blend seamlessly with towering cliffs and the clear waters of the sea. Visitors can also see the pebble beach of Foz da Ribeira do Faial and its unique geological feature—a columnar disjunction formed by ancient lava flows.

The Guindaste viewpoint offers a sweeping panoramic view of Madeira’s northern coastline, stretching from Faial to the eastern tip at Ponta de São Lourenço, including the dramatic Penha d’Águia rock formation. On exceptionally clear days, visitors can even spot the island of Porto Santo, located to the northeast.

• Porto da Cruz - Travel down to the North Coast to the rural village of Porto da Cruz. Situated at the base of a rock called Penha d’Águia, and on the opposite side, steep terraced slopes. The only operational sugar mill on the north coast is located in this village, with its brick chimney standing tall. It features a beautiful sea promenade.
• Pico do Facho viewpoint - Machico’s bay was the first landing site for Zarco and Tristão Vaz Teixeira when Madeira was discovered. It features a uniquely shaped valley, resembling a balcony overlooking the sea and mountains, in a municipality abundant in water. The sugar cane crops and mill activities made it significant for Madeira’s economy until the 17th century. The eastern side of Machico bay is dominated by Pico do Facho, a 320-meter (1050-foot) high peak. It was named after the beacon (facho) that used to be lit here to warn residents of approaching pirates.
• Ponta de Sao Lourenco - Ponta de São Lourenço is the easternmost point of the island. The area around Caniçal and São Lourenço has a climate similar to that of Porto Santo island. It is noticeable that the natural vegetation is different here. The north and south coasts can be seen simultaneously. On a clear day, Porto Santo is also visible. Beautiful rock formations can be found in this region, along with one of the coastal plants, the ice plant.
