Our 4x4 adventure begins in Câmara de Lobos, a charming fishing village nestled between cliffs and the Atlantic Ocean, which inspired Winston Churchill. We follow winding roads to Ribeira Brava, where the 16th-century Church of São Bento stands out, offering stunning views of the ocean. Next, we reach Ponta do Sol, the sunniest spot on the island, surrounded by dramatic cliffs. We ascend to Paul da Serra, Madeira’s only plateau, often shrouded in fog, which contrasts with the lush coastal areas. Descending, we reach Porto Moniz, famous for its natural lava pools. Along the coast, Ribeira da Janela enchants with its basalt columns. In Seixal, we admire the black sand beach and natural pools with crystal-clear waters. We finish at Cabo Girão Skywalk, with breathtaking views, before toasting Madeira’s rich winemaking tradition at Henriques & Henriques winery, ending an unforgettable day.
