Activity itinerary

Miradouro Pico Dos Barcelos

  • 30m
First stop at this hilltop viewpoint on the western edge of Funchal, at around 355 metres altitude. Wide views over the city, the coastline and the surrounding hills. A good place to get your bearings on the island before heading inland.

Miradouro Eira do Serrado

  • 1h
The road climbs into the mountain interior until reaching this viewpoint above the Valley of the Nuns. From here you look down into the horseshoe-shaped valley, surrounded by steep volcanic ridges. One of the most recognised views on the island.

Curral das Freiras

  • 1h
Descend into the village itself — a small, quiet community founded in the 16th century by nuns from Funchal's Santa Clara convent, who sought refuge here during pirate raids on the city. Time to walk around, have a coffee, and try a local chestnut speciality if you wish.
