Curral das Freiras, a small parish surrounded by steep mountains, is situated in the heart of the island. It is believed that this deep valley was formed either by erosion or volcanic activity. After passing by the church of Santo António, you'll stop at the Pico dos Barcelos viewpoint, at 350 metres, where you'll enjoy the magnificent view of Funchal.

You'll then proceed through the mountains until you reach Eira do Serrado, from where you'll have an excellent view from 1,094 metres over Curral das Freiras. After visiting Curral das Freiras, you'll then return to Funchal.

Our guide Michael was very good. He was an excellent driver & a very knowledgeable guide. The scenery throughout was spectacular. Took us to two viewing points & then onto the Nuns Valley. We only had half hour at the village so after a quick coffee & comfort break there wasn't much time to look around. Our trip was advertised as four hours in total but was just over three hours. Unfortunately some of the passengers were not dropped back to their hotels where they were picked up from.

Am Morgen vergeblich auf vereinbarte Abholung gewartet, nach Anruf beim Anbieter wurde Teilnahme am Nachmittag angeboten, Abholung erfolgte dann deutlich verspätet; Fahrzeug in keinem guten Zustand, unbequem; Fahrer / Guide sehr freundlich und bemüht, wirkte gleichzeitig gestresst; Fahrweise auf Serpentinenstraßen und innerorts zu forsch; an Aussichtspunkten und während der Fahrt nur die nötigsten Infos, während der kurzen Spaziergänge zu den Aussichtspunkten und im Dorf blieb der Guide am Wagen

Magisk utsikt!

Excellent driver/ guide. The mountain viewpoint was incredible.

Despite being given two separate pick up times 30 mins apart, from two different sources, via phone and text / email, the driver saved this from being given a much worse vote. An enjoyable run out nonetheless with some spectacular views

Benjamin was a good driver and an excellent tour guide.
