'Fajã' means a flat piece of land at the sea level formed by materials detached from the cliffs. You will get to know Fajã dos Padres, a fertile and unique place that was owned by the jesuits (hence the name 'dos Padres') for more than 150 years. The experience starts with an incredible 3 minutes cable car trip that comfortably will transport you from Quinta Grande to Fajã dos Padres, along a huge cliff over 300 meters high. For about an hour, you will walk along ancient paths opened along the orchards of subtropical fruit trees. During the tour you will get to know the story of this place, that is inhabited since the beginning of Madeira island colonisation. You'll learn the methods used for farming a number of subtropical fruits, some quite exotic. The history of the vine and wine of Madeira, and the reasons for having promoted its culture throughout the centuries in this remote but so fertile piece of land always generates a particular interest among visitors.

Nach dem Besuch am Cabo Girao, kamen wir mit dem Taxi punkt 10 Uhr an der Seilbahnstation an, die um diese Zeit gerade öffnete. Mit noch einem Paar teilten wir uns die erste Fahrt des Tages nach unten... Unten angekommen, liefen nur vereinzelt ein paar Leute von den Häuschen (die man Mieten kann!!!) in Richtung Restaurant. Ansonsten waren wir alleine mit der wunderbaren Natur! Man kann hier Bananenpalmen sich aus nächster nähe anschauen und einfach den Atlantik hautnah genießen. Auch Wein wächst hier, der im Restaurant ausgeschänkt wird - den wir Tageszeit bedingt leider nicht kosteten... Außer mit der aussichtsreichen Fahrt mit dem "Teleferico" gibt es nur die Möglichkeit mit einem Boot hierher zu kommen. Am Ende, hinter dem Restaurant gibt es neben einem Anlegesteeg auch Liegen und Zugang zum Baden...

Descemos por uma das veredas antigas que dá acesso à Fajã dos Padres e fomos surpreendidos pelo valor de €8 por pax só subida no teleférico. O valor de um sentido não se encontra disponível em nenhum lado. A rever a forma de gestão e de informação ao cliente. Apesar de ser uma atração turística não se devem esquecer dos madeirenses e deveria existir uma tarifa para residentes. Fomos abordados de uma forma pouco profissional pela pessoa que estava na bilheteira. Descriminar o madeirense não é melhor opção.

Faja dos Padres is an amazing secluded area accessed by cable car. We stayed in one of the cottages which was lovely and quiet. We had a brilliant tour of the farm with Fatima who was really interesting and enthusiastic and told us all about the history and what is grown there. Most of the produce is consumed in the restaurant. This is a hidden gem and Fatima was 5 star !
