View of the Ribeira da Janela islets

Highlight • Natural Monument

The watercourse of the same name flows in the municipality of Ribeira da Janela. It is the largest and most productive river in the interior of the island of Madeira. Near the coast rise the famous islands of Ribeira da Janela, consisting of several impressive rock formations. At the top of one of the rocks there is an opening that resembles a window. This should not be missed.
