A thrilling journey that will initiate its course at Funchal´s Old Town, uncovering one of the most iconic places of Funchal city. Streets filled with stories and character, and buildings that have survived since the 15th century. (40 minutes ride until garajau)

Continuing to East of Funchal, revealing a tiny seaside village known as Garajau, but first a quick stop at one of the most mesmerizing viewpoints, named by locals as “Pináculo”. This viewpoint can be found in the street, Rua Conde Carvalhal. It lies 283 meters above sea level, and it has one of the most breathtaking views of the bay of Funchal.

Arriving at one of Madeira’s wonders, a small town called Garajau, where the statue of the “Cristo Rei” can be found. This monument and its spectacular views are one of the main attractions in this small town. Cristo Rei´s statue was built back in 1927 and it was completed four years before the famous Christ the Redeemer statue in Brazil. This monument is an Art Deco statue of Jesus Christ and is the magnificent work of French sculptor Georges Serraz.

After watching the beautiful sights from above the sea, the tuk-tuk tour will continue in the direction of the sea level where the Garajau´s natural reservation is at. The reserve was established, back in 1986 and is positioned in the south coast of the island. Epinephelus Guaza (Mero), is one of the largest fish that can be found at the park but, is also important to mention that this natural reserve is a protected area making it forbidden to catch fish there. Not only fishing is forbidden here, but also navigating in these waters, which are highly controlled by the navy patrol. Although, these waters can be explored if in one is in the mood for some skin-diving. The Garajau natural reserve is not only known for its crystalline waters, but also for its biological richness, undeniably a space worth all its protection.

The tour will conclude its course back to Funchal city for the remaining time of the journey. (40 minutes ride)
