Achadas da Cruz

Day 2
Later on we will also make it to an old farming village right on the wild west coast of the island accessible only by cable car. This cable car ride is one to remember, as it is descending in almost 100% and therefore is one of the steepest ones in Europe.

Porto Moniz Natural Swimming Pools

Day 2-3
Volcanic natural pools in Madeira are in various locations, we can choose which ones we like the most! However Porto Moniz is also a great spot for sunset in the summer, so imagine soaking in a beautiful blue ocean pool whilst the sun is going down over the ocean .. What a dream!

Porto da Cruz

Day 3-4
After Vereda do Larano I always love to visit this magical surfing town on the north-east coast. Not only it is absolutely beautiful, surrounded by green hills and offers two of the islands favourite surfing spot, it also houses an amazing restaurant with tasty traditional dishes and in my opinion, best Poncha on the island!

Levada Nova

Day 7-8
The last day we can do a morning hike, this one along the Levada Nova, one of the island's most famous Levada trails, which follows ancient irrigation channels along the edges of steep cliff. Stunning view of greenery and the ocean in the background. It's not a challenging route so perfect to stretch our bodies after so much done during the trip! The rest of the day is free for suggestions to spend rest of the trip to everybody's liking :) To finish of the trip we can go to an amazing party organized by local Digital Nomad community!
