Caminho da Entrosa: View from the Cliffs

Highlight • Viewpoint

The Caminho do Entrosa on Madeira is a quiet and impressive high-altitude trail that winds along the rugged north coast between the villages of Arco de São Jorge and Boaventura. This old cobblestone path runs high above the Atlantic Ocean at an altitude of approximately 380 meters, offering spectacular cliff views while the sea crashes against the rocks far below. This section combines landscape, history, and views in a particularly striking way – a perfect opportunity for those who want to peacefully enjoy a spectacular coastal panorama.

Cliffside Trail on Madeira

Highlight • Trail

Very nice path. Sometimes you need a bit of courage when there is no barrier, but in principle the path is always wide enough.

View of Ponta Delgada

Highlight • Viewpoint

The route back along the coast from São Christovao to Ponta Delgada should be approached with extreme caution. There have apparently been some severe landslides recently, and parts of the route are covered in debris and boulders. Therefore, you must keep a close eye on the rocks above you and proceed with caution. Avoid using the path in windy or rainy conditions.

Tunnel of the Old Coastal Road

Highlight • Structure

There is also a junction here. Either along the old road between Ponta Delgada and Boaventura or via the stairs over the mountain.

Stone Bridge in the Valley

Highlight • Bridge

The old stone bridge in the valley on Madeira spans a clear stream and connects narrow paths through the mountainous landscape. The sturdy structure, built from roughly hewn stones, seems like a time capsule, conveying the impression of centuries-old infrastructure for shepherds and hikers. Surrounded by lush greenery and the sound of rushing water, the bridge is an ideal spot for a short rest, offering a view of both nature and history.

After climbing levadas and tours in the interior of the island, today was supposed to be a tour on the coast.
How could we assume that it should go down here without numerous meters of altitude? Parked comfortably in a large parking lot by the sea and the tour also started directly with stairs here. The really big surprise for …
