Experience Details

Miradouro Neves: starting strong with an amazing view


No good tour in Madeira without having some amazing views as well: our first stop is at the Viewpoint Neves.


Afterwards we will head to Camacha, a small town more up in the mountains. Here we will find some of the best (very) local Poncha bars. Originals, which you should not miss. Time for the first bar and Poncha of the day: the original Pescador!


Next stop is a tiny bar where the owner will show us the magic behind the preparation. You want to mix your own Poncha? Help Senhor Agostinho to prepare the Poncha “Regional” with the Caralhinho (Poncha Stick). Of course we will try our creation afterwards.


Bar Nr. 3 is colourful and another unique little place. Our Poncha Maracujá will be accompanied by some local nibbles.The finale: choose your favorite flavor – cheers to us and to a wonderful tour! We will be at a place which is popular in the local community.


Back to Funchal: new friends, new memories
