Things to do in

Faja Da Ovelha

Enjoy the warmest place of Madeira and what is has to offer. The southwest is the point less visited by foreigners, making all the viewpoints unique. You can admire the lovely scenery freely there without the crowds of tourists around spoiling it. You'll start at Campanário, with tiny 2-way roads making for great adventures. Once at Ponta do Sol, you will take an off-road track up to the plateau which sits at 1,500 meters. This track will see you passing by green mountains, all of which are covered with forests. Following that, stop at Prazeres where you have the option to taste home-made dishes which pack plenty of flavor. You'll then make your way down to the villages near the coastline, where charismatic fishing villages create a contrast with the colors of the sky and mountains. You will see old terraces where people still work with their hands in the production of bananas, sugar cane, and subtropical fruits.

Your half-day Southwest Madeira tour begins in Prazeres. You will be presented with a huge rocky scene which is typical of Madeira, and can visit Prazeres Farm Animal Zoo to try its famous Jellies. Afterwards, you will travel through Paul do Mar until you arrive to Fajã da Ovelha. This site surprises visitors with its magnificent yet quiet atmospher, which makes you feel like you are the only local residents. To conclude your itinerary you will visit the lighthouse of Ponta do Pargo. Situated at 312 meters high, you will be able to see breathtaking views of the ocean and the roughness of the landscape from its vantage point.
