• Miradouro do Cristo Rei do Garajau - Garajau’s notable landmark is the grand statue of Christ, erected in 1927. It is a replica of the statues in Rio de Janeiro and Lisbon. The site offers splendid views of Funchal and the cruise ships heading towards the harbor.
• Camacha - The East Madeira Tour leads to Camacha. The road is adorned with orchards and, in summer, the blue blossoms of agapanthus. Camacha is situated on a high plateau northeast of Funchal. It is also the first place where soccer was played in Portugal in 1875.
• Pico do Arieiro - The journey continues uphill to Pico Arieiro, standing at 1818m (5965 ft). It is the third highest peak in Madeira. As you ascend, the lush woodland transitions to bare rock. The views are breathtaking, with endless knife-edge ridges and sheer cliffs. Cotton-wool clouds linger in the valleys.
• Balcoes de Ribeiro Frio - Departing from Pico Arieiro, the journey continues uphill through small terraces lining the road, where various fruits can be found before reaching Ribeiro Frio. This charming spot is nestled within the Laurissilva forest, classified as a World Heritage site by UNESCO in 1999. Here, visitors 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. Visitors will discover the spaciousness of the Santana ‘A’ farm buildings during their 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.

Renowned for its remarkable beauty, this viewpoint provides an idyllic scene where lush green mountains blend seamlessly with towering cliffs and the crystalline sea waters. 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.

• 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 mills were vital to Madeira’s economy until the 17th century. The eastern side of Machico bay is dominated by Pico do Facho, a 320m (1050 ft) high peak. It was named after the beacon (facho) that was lit here to warn residents of approaching pirates.
• Ponta de São Lourenço - Ponta de São Lourenço is the easternmost point of the island. The area around Caniçal and São Lourenço shares a similar climate with the island of Porto Santo. The natural vegetation here is distinct. Both the north and south coasts can be seen simultaneously. On a clear day, Porto Santo is also visible. The region is known for its beautiful rock formations and the coastal plant, the ice plant.
• Porto da Cruz - Traveling down to the North Coast leads to the rural village of Porto da Cruz. It is located at the base of a rock called Penha d’Águia, with steep terraced slopes on the other side. The only operational sugar mill on the north coast is found in this village, with its brick chimney standing tall. The village also boasts a beautiful sea promenade.
