Guided trip
Are you ready to visit Madeira with me? Madeira is a Portuguese island in the Atlantic Ocean, known for its spectacular scenery, subtropical climate and diverse leisure activities. The island offers stunning cliffs, forests, gardens and beaches, as well as a rich history and culture. The destination is due to consistent year round warm weather also perfect to explore in March. Due to its mild climate and summer feeling, it is a perfect place for the sun and adventures seekers out there. The main focus of this experience will be to explore the West Coast, hikes and other adventures in this area, see the mountain peaks and visit the capital Funchal. Who am I? I am Jana and I have been living in Madeira for many years now. I will show you some of the most beautiful hidden places that I have fallen in love with.
