Monte is a village noted for its many fine gardens and twin-towered church. The highlight of your tour involves an exciting, ten-minute wicker sleigh ride from Monte back to Livramento. The wicker sleigh was once a popular form of transportation on Madeira, and this opportunity is so unusual and so coveted, it features near the top of many a seasoned traveler's bucket list.
In Funchal, visit a souvenir shop to admire local embroidery.
Notes:
The sleigh ride is at a moderate-to-fast pace. All forms of transportation involve inherent risk; 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). Wear comfortable walking shoes. No guarantee is offered about visibility or views on any day, as weather and atmospheric conditions vary and are beyond the tour operator's control. Bring local currency, as many vendors do not accept credit cards or US dollars. The tour does not operate on Sundays or holidays.
