    You will then head to Eira do Serrado, overlooking “Curral das Freiras” a horse shoe shaped valley far below. The Views have three sheer sides that cut into the serrated peaks of Madeira. Here, Madeira’s highest mountain was mistakenly believed to have been a volcanic crater. It is now known that its dramatic geographical shape was created by the river itself. From there, you can admire the tiny terraced fields which grow wine, fruit and vegetables and the slopes far below with sweet chestnut trees. You will stop there for around 30 minutes.

    Next, you will venture forth to the Village of Nuns Valley - Curral das Freiras. The valley is situated in a huge natural amphitheater, surrounded by some of Madeira’s highest peaks. The village was founded in the 16th century by the nuns of the convent of “Santa Clara” in Funchal, from where the nuns fled from pirate attacks in 1566. The center of the village is situated on a small rise in the middle of the valley. You will stop there for about 30 minutes

This tour was amazing. We were picked up at our hotel and the tour guide was lovely. She explained about a lot of things on the way up and back down the mountain. At the second stop with the cafe she sat with my elderly father on the cafe balcony while I walked up to the view point. She told us interesting facts about banana trees. The views we saw were amazing and we enjoyed visiting the Valley of the Nuns village chapel. This is a great tour to do and just right for someone elderly.
