View of Praia do Garajau and the cable car

On the way to Christo Rei you can take a beautiful look down to the beach from the cable car. And in the distance you can see Funchal.

Prickly Pear Cacti in Zona Especial de Conservação do Pináculo

Highlight • Natural

Cactus figs, if you want you can eat them, but be careful when you open them, you can hardly get the thorns out of your skin.

Christ the King of Garajau Statue

Highlight • Monument

The statue "Cristo Rei do Garajau" or "Coração de Cristo" is located at the Ponta do Garajau viewpoint, which offers a beautiful view. This statue was erected in honor of the Sacred Heart of Christ.

This work by the French sculptor George Serraz is a statue of Christ stretching his open arms towards the ocean.

Steps from Cristo Rei to Ponta do Garajau

Highlight • Monument

Climbing the steps is quite a challenge. But there are always little recesses where you can admire the Cristo above or the Ponta below.

Prickly Pear Cactus with Cochineal Infestation

Highlight • Natural

Chochinillas are lice on cacti. In the case of the females, the red juice is obtained - carmine- which is processed in the textile industry, perfume industry and food. In food as E 120. In the past, e.g. the Campari was colored with it.
Not anymore, because 70,000 - 100,000 lice are needed for 1 kg of carmine.
Still occasionally used to dye textiles
