Porto Moniz

On this, probably the most popular excursion of the Island, you will visit the Fishing Villages of Câmara de Lobos and Ribeira Brava, travel along the south west coast as far as Calheta and climb the mountains to Paul da Serra (the famous mountain plateau).

From the plateau, you will descend to the north coast and the Village of Porto Moniz, famed for its volcanic rock swimming pools before experiencing the breathtaking drive along the infamous cliff hugging north coast road to São Vicente. From this pretty Village you will turn inland and travel up through a lush valley region to the mountain pass of Encumeada and on finally to Cabo Girão (the 2nd. Highest sea cliff in the World).
