Porto Moniz Essentials

Porto Moniz encompasses the rugged northwestern corner of Madeira, characterized by the high Paul da Serra plateau and the ancient Laurisilva forest of Fanal. This selection features the 25 Fontes waterfalls, the 1,640-meter Pico Ruivo do Paul, and the black sand coastline of Seixal. The area is defined by mist-shrouded Til trees, seasonal lagoons like Lagoa do Lajeado, and historic viewpoints like Fio, which once served as a cable transport system for mountain resources.
