Booking option: Half day jeep safari in Madeira to the nun's valley and Pico do Areeiro

The half day jeep safari in Madeira first starts to the viewpoint Pico dos Barcelos for a photo stop, so you can overview the entire bay of Funchal. You continue with the jeeps to Curral das Freiras (nun's valley), that once was a safe haven for the nuns of the monastery of Saint Clara in the 15th and 16th century. The nun's valley is still very remote and difficult to reach, so a jeep safari is the perfect way to reach it. Also Pico do Areeiro, one of the highest mountains of Madeira, will be visited - enjoy stunning panoramic views over the island. The final of the jeep tour with lots of interesting information from the local and experienced guides is the visit of Camacha, a village known for its basket makers.

Detailed description

Get to know the culture and nature on a half day jeep safari in Madeira

This half-day off-road excursion in Madeira by 4x4 jeeps shows you many facets of this beautiful island in a short time. On the tour to the Nun's Valley you will visit the Pico dos Barcelos viewpoint in Funchal with a magnificent view over the city. The drivers are Madeira experts and will provide you with lots of interesting background information about the island and its attractions during the half-day tour.

You will have a lot of fun driving the open 4x4 vehicles as you can lean out of the top of the 4x4 jeeps and view Madeira throughout the half day jeep safari without having to worry about driving on the narrow roads. The routes are spectacular, very winding and in the middle of steep mountains - a unique adventure. Visit Pico do Areeiro, the third highest mountain in Madeira, by jeep and enjoy breathtaking views. The Madeira Jeep Safari also takes you through the dense laurel forest, one of the few remaining primeval forests in the world.

Madeira's landscape is dominated by agriculture. There are banana and sugar cane fields and numerous cherry and chestnut trees in Nun's Valley. The colours of Madeira give the island its special charm, which you can capture in stunning photographs.

Great!

The tour was very impressive, but a little short. Our guide told us that there is also a longer tour. It is probably even more worthwhile.

Toll!

Die Tour war sehr beeindruckend, aber etwas kurz. Unser Guide sagte uns, dass es auch eine längere Tour gibt. Die lohnt sich wahrscheinlich noch mehr.

Spaß, traumhafte Ausblicke, sehr beeindruckend

Nonnental Tour war toll, teilweise holprige Strecke, dafür wird man aber mit grandiosen Ausblicken belohnt und es macht richtig Spaß!
