Madeira is a stunning island located off the coast of Portugal, and it's a must-visit for travelers who love nature and breathtaking views. I started to research about this place after I watched a short video in Tik Tok:) Here are some spots to visit there: - Pico do Arieiro: This is the third-highest peak on the island, and it offers breathtaking views of the surrounding landscape. People can drive up to the peak or take a hiking trail to reach the top. - Levada Walks: The island is famous for its Levada walks, which are hiking trails that follow the water channels that distribute water from the mountainous areas to the farmland. These walks offer spectacular views of the island's forests, waterfalls, and cliffs. - Funchal: This charming city is the capital of Madeira Island and is known for its picturesque streets, colorful houses, and stunning views of the Atlantic Ocean.
