Fajã dos Cardos

Highlight • Settlement

Fajã dos Cardos is part of the parish of Curral das Freiras, in the southern part of the island of Madeira. It is a small place with little to offer other than the fact that it is the ideal starting point for trails 1.3 (towards Pico Ruivo) and 2 (towards Lombo do Urzal).

This section takes you over a cultivated path (mostly steps) through the eucalyptus forest. Here and there you'll have a stunning view across the valley and surrounding mountains.

View of Curral das Freiras

Highlight • Viewpoint

In good weather fantastic view in the valley of the north of Madeira. At this point, some trails intersect: ascent to Pico Ruivo, descent to Curral das Freiras, descent to the north coast or passage to Boca da Encumeada ... Everything is recommended!
