About this itinerary
Overview
Madeira is a mountain island rising from the Atlantic, covered in UNESCO-listed primary forest and criss-crossed by 2,500 km of levadas. The roads are winding and sometimes narrow — a compact van is essential — but the panoramas are worth every tight corner. An island that surprises at every turn.
