Discover Madeira on an exclusive route with Ross, moving gradually from the coast into the island’s high mountains.
Begin at Terreiro da Luta, a peaceful viewpoint with historical significance and wide views over Funchal. Further, higher up in Funchal’s Nature Reserve, take a short, gentle traject to see where the Ribeira das Cales is born and walk beside the historic Levada do Murray (1784). Here you can also visit a free museum dedicated to Madeira’s flora and fauna and observe how the vegetation shifts with altitude. It’s an excellent area for spotting Madeiran birds.
At Pico do Arieiro, 1,800 m above sea level, you’ll have 40 minutes to enjoy volcanic ridges, cloud formations, and dramatic high‑mountain scenery. The tour ends in Camacha, where you can stroll through the main square and visit the site of Portugal’s first football match. This experience is always private, flexible, and designed to skip the lines, ensuring a smooth and comfortable day.
