Ribeira Brava

Walk to the highest point of Vila da Ribeira Brava. Discover the ruins of Caramujo. During the descent to Carvoeiros, be dazzled by the fabulous landscape over the sea. Passing through Queimadas, the route will end with the return to Vila da Ribeira Brava.

In the Tour "Ribeira Brava: The Barn of the First Atlantic City" we will embark on a journey starting with the formation of the planet Earth, passing through the particularities of the Madeira archipelago and its settlement by the Portuguese. The valley and buildings of Ribeira Brava's Historical Center will serve as didactic material to observe scientific, historical, and cultural specificities.

Enjoy a steep climb from sea level, up the side of a Ribeira to the Cruz, followed by a descent of the cobbled road.
