Scenic Lookouts

These lookouts provide vantage points over Madeira’s central mountain massif and the deep volcanic crater of Curral das Freiras. Situated at elevations ranging from 1,000 to over 1,800 meters, the sites include Eira do Serrado, accessible by road, and high-altitude spots like Ninho da Manta and Pedra Rija along the PR1 trail. These viewpoints reveal the island’s jagged peaks, including Pico do Areeiro and Pico Ruivo, alongside traditional terraced agriculture and the historic village settled in the valley below.
