Ribeira da Janela Rock Formations and Tunnel

Highlight • Natural Monument

The watercourse of the same name flows in the municipality of Ribeira da Janela. It is the largest and most productive river in the interior of the island of Madeira. This line of water rises in the middle of the mountains and crosses the mountains of Madeira until it flows into the Atlantic here.
