O
Rýchle fakty: The viewpoint stands at 1,818 meters above sea level, offering panoramic views of Madeira's peaks and the Atlantic Ocean. Nearly 400,000 visitors hike or drive here annually to catch sunrise or sunset scenes.
Zaujímavosti: A striking feature includes the trail tunnels that link to Pico Ruivo, the island's highest peak, through a series of 12 tunnels carved through volcanic rock. Visitors often witness clouds creeping through the ridges at dawn, transforming the landscape into a mystical sea of mist.
Insiderské tipy
- Wear sturdy shoes as the trails and tunnel paths can be uneven and slippery.
- Bring layers; temperatures drop quickly at this altitude even in summer.
- Capture photos from the small viewing platforms on the eastern side for unobstructed ocean vistas.
- Visit on weekdays or early mornings to avoid crowds and take your time on the trails.
