The Nuns Valley, Curral das Freiras, a small parish surrounded by steep mountains, is located in the heart of the island. This deep valley is thought to have been shaped either by erosion or volcanic activity.

Upon passing the church of Santo António, your first stop will be the Pico dos Barcelos viewpoint, situated at 350 m. From here, you'll be able to enjoy the magnificent view of Funchal.

Continuing your journey, you'll make your way through the mountains until you reach Eira do Serrado. At an elevation of 1094 m, this vantage point offers an excellent view overlooking Curral das Freiras.

After exploring Curral das Freiras, your route will take you back to Funchal.

Enjoyed the whole experience. Benjamin the driver, had a very good knowledge and had great customer service skills. The stop at the viewpoint on the way gave a great view of Funchal. The view of the Nuns valley from the viewpoint is truly breath taking. It is a personal favourite of:mine now. Even the journey to and from the valley is spectacular. Thanks Benjamin for a great: Sunday morning experience and recommendation of where to get coffee in the village.

We enjoyed the whole experience. Excellent service with lovely stops and views. Shops were great too. Lovely driver and guide.

Zeer vriendelijke gids, gaf goede uitleg. Enige grote minpunt was de bus waar je als sardienen werd ingepropt. Mijn echtgenoot en zoon zijn beiden 1.95 m lang, beenruimte was gewoon onvoldoende. Zelfs ik (1.74m) zat gekneld met knieën tegen zetel. Knieën zagen blauw na het uitstappen.

Guide war sehr gut !

Patrick was a fantastic driver/guide. Excellent knowledge, describing the area and historic facts while still navigating switchback roads and traffic. Stunning scenery throughout, very enjoyable.
