What you can expect

Discover the real local life of Madeira on a guided walk through family farms and tropical gardens.

You will be accompanied by Angela and/or Stef, passionate French botanical live guides who are deeply attached to this hamlet on the south coast, where they are now integrated into local life and close to its inhabitants.

With them, you will explore the terraced fields where banana trees, sugar cane, and many tropical species grow. You will discover how the locals still use the levadas to irrigate their plots and maintain these lands that have been cultivated for generations.

This immersive walk takes you to the heart of the village, where you can discover the landscapes, agricultural traditions, and the many tropical fruit trees: mangos, anonas, passion fruit, papayas, and more.

This is your chance to discover an authentic, vibrant Madeira, far from the usual tourist routes.
The tour ends in a friendly atmosphere with a tasting of homemade tropical juices made from local harvests.

*
If you wish to extend the experience, you can select other nature excursions directly when booking. We offer several additional half-day excursions: discover banana plantations and tropical crops, or our “Giant Agave Crossing” hike with breathtaking views of the ocean, for even more nature experiences to discover Madeira off the beaten track. You are free to put together your own itinerary (one, two, or three excursions) to create a customised flowers and nature stay.
