Best places: Things to dos in Santana, Portugal

👍👍 A very beautiful viewing point along the Verada do Areeiro walking trail. It is highly recommended to get here before sunrise and enjoy the breathtaking views. It is about 20 minutes walking from the parking lot. We had some clouds but after sunrise it cleared up and treated us to stunning views.

👍👍 Beautiful and scary. In full sun it is also very hot so get a lot of water with you. Good thing you can fill your bottles in the shelter.

👍👍 Start at Pico do Arieiro, hike to Pico Ruivo and finish at Achada do Teixeira. Only possible as a guided tour, but this way you don't have to walk back all the stairs to Pico do Arieiro. Amazing views all the way, especially the first kilometers from Pico do Arierio. Even view to Ponta de Sao Louren...

👍👍 Walk without ups and downs, 5h in total (going and back on the same route). Doable for families but maybe not the whole way. There are waterfalls and tunnels. The 3rd tunnel is quite tricky because there is a lot of water on the floor but if you keep left and walk on the stones you are going to be f...

👍👍 One of the best hikes of Madeira and quite strenuous as well with steep inclines and declines. People who are fearful of height shouldn’t attempt it or should do it with caution. Since this is a very popular hike, it gets really really busy so to avoid the crowd suggest to start early. We started at...

👍👍 Very pretty, didn't go the 17km trails but just looked at the park, and it is very cute and scenic.

👍 You must wear good shoes to get up there . The walk is around 30-40minutes. There is mud and a lot of stairs to get there. You have a great view of the valleys and you watch birds flying around you

👍👍 Excellent Viewpoint! Enjoy taking a drive around the island of Madeira. Stop the car nearby and feel how splendorous it is...

👍👍 Lovely place to watch sunset. Plan to arrive 1 hour before the time listed online for “sunrise” to be able to see the very first color changes in the sky. It can be chilly in the early morning. Definitely wear long pants and a jacket, maybe bring a blanket.

👍👍 Miradouro da Portela is a viewpoint located in the municipality of Machico, Madeira. It is a popular spot for both locals and tourists, and offers stunning views of the surrounding mountains, valleys, and the Atlantic Ocean. The viewpoint is located at an altitude of 670 meters (2,200 feet), and is...

👍 Really nice and easy, no walking up the hill. But if is wet, bring waterproof shoes, be careful of mud. And watch out. There are rocks falling on the way and about 380 meters before end the road is blocked by huge fall of rocks and trees. It can be walk through only be experienced men.

👍👍 Picked up the 'stay and surf' package of 7 days and 5 surf lessons. The guest house is lovely with great sea views, spacious rooms and a 10/10 when it comes to cleanliness. The surf lessons and team are mega friendly and helpful, they will offer you loads of feedback so you can improve as quickly a...

👍👍 This hike is not very popular and I don't know why. View is incredible. Trail is flat and quite easy. But the road to get to the starting point is frightening and really narrow.

👍👍 We walked PR 1.3 from Encumeada to Pico de Ruivo and back; it took about 4 hours one way. In the summer it tends to get cloudy from noon on, so start early to make sure you’ll get those breathtaking views. Especially stunning is the silhouette of the entire PR1, which shows in the distance around th...

👍👍 Beautiful walk. Not much of an incline. The path is flat and easy to navigate. The views are worth the walk. Some birds are fed and are not too afraid of people. The space at the top can get a little crowded.

👍👍 Unique place to catch your own fish, see it get prepared and of course enjoy the fresh prepared meal in a beautiful eco friendly place. The staff are very welcoming and provide a lot of interesting facts. Don’t miss this opportunity and don’t worry about the short gravel road leading to it.

👍 Beautiful place for a walk and take photos.

Tree-lined path running by an irrigation channel, passing native forest, tunnels & small waterfalls.

👍👍 It is absolutely perfect for the romantic and relaxing walk :) I would recommend doing it in the afternoon - on our round trip we met only couple of people. As the name says it is appropriate for everyone - the elderly, children, people with disabilities as the path is flat and wide. It ends at Quei...
