Curral das Freiras Madeira Day Trip

Curral das Freiras, also known as the Valley of the Nuns, stands out as one of the most stunning locations in Madeira. Embark on a hiking adventure to uncover its amazing natural beauty.

Day Trip Overview

After collecting you from your accommodation in Funchal at the agreed-upon time, we will head to the Picos dos Barcelos viewpoint. Here, a short pause will allow you to take in the sweeping vistas of the city.

Next, we will proceed to Curral das Freiras, a quaint village nestled within the Nuns' Valley.
