We begin our tour with a drive towards Pico dos Barcelos, from where we can see distant Funchal and its surrounding villages scattered over the green slopes.

Our next point of call is Cabo Girão – the highest sea-cliff in Europe and the second highest in the world. Continuing, we pass by Estreito de Câmara de Lobos, known for its vineyards, en route to the picturesque fishing village of Câmara de Lobos, where Sir Winston Churchill used to stay and paint. We then return to Funchal, where we can enjoy wine tasting at a local wine cellar, prior to returning to our ship.

TOUR NOTES: This tour includes approximately 30 minutes of walking, some of which may be over hilly ground. There are approximately 16 steps to negotiate if you wish to visit the top of the viewpoint at Pico dos Barcelos, 12 steps at the wine tasting venue, and approximately three steps to reach the toilet facilities at Cabo Girão.
