Description
Experience Madeira's aerial views, ride the cable car to Monte, toboggan down, and savor stone soup and scenic views at Eira do Serrado!
Embark on a journey through time as you explore Monte, a beloved Madeiran destination steeped in history. Once served by a steam railway in the 19th century, today, modern cable cars offer an equally enchanting ascent up the hillside from Funchal.
Admire the twin-towered façade of the Our Lady of Monte Church, an iconic 18th-century landmark greeting visitors to this picturesque town. As you ascend, soak in panoramic vistas during the scenic fifteen-minute cable car ride, composed of 40 cozy cabins accommodating up to 8 passengers each.
For thrill-seekers, the descent to Livramento awaits, where the famed basket sledges known as 'toboggans' offer an exhilarating ride down winding streets. But the adventure doesn't end there. Your tour continues to the breathtaking Eira do Serrado, offering a majestic panorama of Nun’s Valley—a historic refuge from pirate raids. Delight your taste buds with a sampling of the region's culinary heritage—a delicious 'stone soup' awaits, blending local flavors and traditions.
Immerse yourself in Madeira's rich tapestry of culture, history, and gastronomy on this amazing journey, before returning to port with fond memories of your time in Funchal.
