Cabo Girão is a lofty sea cliff located along the southern coast of the island of Madeira, in the Portuguese archipelago of Madeira. Cabo Girão is a popular lookout point, with up to 1800 visitors a day. The location is also a popular starting point for hikers. The Cabo Girão Skywalk is the highest cliff skywalk in Europe, located on top of the cabo Girão Cliff in Madeira Island. The skywalk opened in late October 2012 and is similar to the one in America’s Grand Canyon – both are made of transparent glass to provide stunning views to visitors.

The Pico dos Barcelos Viewpoint is approximately 355 meters above sea level. From this point, there is a splendid panoramic view over Funchal bay and the city area, with the Desertas Islands in the background. This viewpoint was recently restructured and nowadays it includes additional green and commercial areas where local crafts and restaurants can be found and also new leisure facilities. This area underwent substantial improvements in terms of pedestrian and automobile access.

Instead of riding the cable car down to Funchal, why not use another one of Monte´s attractions? Go on a traditional Monte’s sledge ride – a traditional toboggan ride on a wicker sledge with wooden runners driven by two carriers.

Located at the southeastern end of the island of Madeira, it is part of the municipality of Machico. It is renowned for its harbor with colorful fishermen’s boats, seafront walks, the quaint Whale Museum, and delicious fresh fish restaurants. There is much more to visit in this sunny corner, with arid landscapes that oppose the green tendency of the island.

Ponta de São Lourenço is one of the last nearly untouched places in Madeira. Located in the eastern part of the island, this is the place where a fantastic combination of rocks, sea and nature created one of Mother Nature’s masterpieces. You can climb up the rocks and see very little evidence of man’s changes to the island. There are excellent views over both the northern and southern sides of the island and, when the weather conditions allow it, you can even see Porto Santo Island.

The Christ the King statue also known as the Sacred Heart statue is an Art Deco statue of Jesus Christ in Garajau, Madeira. It is here that non-catholic Christians were thrown from the cliffs as only Catholics were allowed to be buried on the island until 1770 when the British Cemetery of Funchal was established for non-catholic Christians. The Jewish Cemetery of Funchal was established in 1851. The statue was built in remembrance of the function of the area’s history. The statue was built in 1927 and consecrated on October 30, 1927. Financed by the local lawyer Aires de Ornelas and his wife, created by French artists Georges Serraz and Pierre Charles Lenoir. The statue was completed 4 years before Christ the Redeemer statue in Brazil.
