In the old part of Funchal, you will board a cable car for a scenic ride up to the town of Monte.
Enjoy a brief adventure with a wicker sleigh ride down to Livramento. This form of transportation is a step back into the past and is a rather thrilling ride that is quite unique to Madeira.
Continue to Pico dos Barcelos, which offers a fantastic panorama of the whole of Funchal city, its bay, harbor, and the surrounding hills.
Back in Funchal, you'll have a chance to taste some Madeira wine .
Notes:
The sleigh ride is at a moderate-to-fast pace. All forms of transportation involve inherent risk, so you participate at your own risk. Sleigh operates weather permitting. There may be a wait for the sleighs (up to two hours during peak times). Tour does not operate on weekends or holidays. Wear comfortable walking shoes. Weather and atmospheric conditions vary; no guarantee is offered regarding visibility or views on any day. Bring local currency, as many vendors do not accept credit cards or US dollars.
