Levada da Colina da Fajã

Highlight • Trail

flat walk, if you walk this the other way around, you will have the Sunshine pub & grill for lunch, highly recommended, also for dinner (closed on Thursdays).

Walked in mid-March 2024, the effect of the major fire in October 2023 is still clearly visible. It is a somewhat surreal image, many ferns with black trees and shrubs above them. Fortunately, some areas remain untouched here and there and the view of the ocean remains beautiful.

Fio Viewpoint

Highlight • Viewpoint

On our tour the most beautiful and widest view (even at the nearby lighthouse the view is no better).
The food is very good and if you are lazy you can even come here by car and park it for free.

São Pedro Church (Ponta do Pargo)

Highlight • Religious Site

Founded in the mid-16th century, this parish was founded on land that used to belong to the parish of Fajã da Ovelha. He settled in the small chapel of São Pedro, from which he took the patron saint, a chapel that has been rebuilt twice in different, albeit nearby, locations. A resolution of the Finance Council of July 20, 1690 ordered the auction of the work on the new church in Ponta do Pargo, with a budget of 2231 $600 Réis, with a discount of $60 000 Réis, the value of the stone of the old church. This parish, in a way, accompanied the vicissitudes that the parish of Porto do Moniz was going through: thus it incorporated the new parish when it was founded in 1835, becoming part of the parish of Calheta in 1849, and was again incorporated into that of Porto do Moniz when it was formed in 1855 has been restored.

Levada Bridge in Parque Natural da Madeira

Highlight • Bridge

Nice bridge. You can also get underneath with a little scrambling. With the right water level you can even take a moment of rest here while enjoying the passing water and croaking frogs nearby. 😊

Levada da Fajã

Highlight • Trail

to walk without great height - this hike invites you to relax and think - at the Levada you can cross for many miles, but in wet weather a bit slippery.
