ROCS Uncharted Adventures 10 Day Spectacular Madeira 2026

DAY 4 EAST MADEIRA After breakfast, we head to the eastern side of Madeira to explore some of the island’s most iconic sights. Our journey begins with a scenic drive up to Poiso, followed by a visit to Pico do Arieiro, rising 1,818 metres above sea level and standing as one of Madeira’s highest peaks. From here, you’ll enjoy breathtaking panoramic views stretching across much of the island. We then continue to Ribeiro Frio, renowned for its gardens featuring a variety of endemic plants—a true natural haven. From there, we travel on to São Roque do Faial, an area noted for its rich agricultural diversity and considered one of the most fascinating regions on the island. Our next stop is Santana, celebrated for its traditional thatched houses, an enduring symbol of Madeiran architecture. During the visit, you’ll discover the local traditions and the history that shapes this picturesque village. We’ll take a break for lunch at a local restaurant. On the return to Funchal, we pass through Porto da Cruz, Portela, and Pico do Facho, where you’ll be treated to spectacular views over Ponta de São Lourenço and Madeira’s north coast.
