Carreiros do Monte Toboggan Arrival Point

Highlight • Structure

This is where the sleigh ride ends. As a souvenir, you can buy a picture taken of each sleigh for an exorbitant price. Afterwards, you can walk further down the mountain back to Funchal or take a taxi back up for a lot of money.

Levada dos Tornos

Highlight • Trail

The Levada dos Tornos is easy to walk, unfortunately not as contemplative as the levadas in the mountains, but rather a real canal.

Madeira Botanical Garden (Jardim Botânico da Madeira)

Highlight • Natural Monument

The botanical garden is very interesting and definitely worth a visit. It is advisable to wear sturdy shoes with good soles, as the paths are sometimes very uneven. There are an incredible number of plants to see – trees, palms, cacti, flowering shrubs and orchids.

Today we headed to the capital. The first highlight was the airport, built on pillars—an ingenious construction. The botanical garden was truly worth seeing and offered stunning views of Funchal. Afterward, one of us took the cable car and the other on foot up to Monte. I've already experienced quite a few climbs here, but 39% made me start puffing …

Take bus 21 or the cable car to the starting point. Return with bus 29 or 31 to the center of Funchal.
So close to the capital, yet the levada path feels like it goes through a jungle – wonderful 😀

March 2, 2023,🇵🇹 3. Tag: Von Monte über Levadas zum Botanischen Garten

Today we took the bus from Funchal to Monte. The journey is adventurous. The bus from Funchal drives up into the mountains on very narrow roads. The ride always costs 'single' 1.95 euros, no matter where you get off.
We had to change the route at short notice because the originally planned route is closed due to falling rocks and …
