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.

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.

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.
