We will pick you up from your hotel in Funchal at the scheduled time and head to the Picos dos Barcelos viewpoint for a brief stop to take in the panoramic views of the city.

Next, we will proceed to Curral das Freiras, a small village in the Nuns' Valley. This location gained its name after nuns sought refuge from pirates in 1566, surrounded by rugged peaks.
