The Nuns Valley Tour starts of from the reception area as we make our way up to Picos dos Barcelos where we make a short stop to enjoy one of the best views over Funchal. After that, we go to Eira do Serrado viewpoint, where you can see the Nun's Valley from the very top of the mountain.
We then make our way to Nuns Valley or Curral das Freiras, which is a small village nestled at the foot of a deep basin, surrounded by the rugged peaks of the surrounding mountains. Since Madeira is a volcanic island, this is regarded as the mouth of the volcano and hence the amazing surroundings. Once only accessible by foot (or donkey!) Nuns’ Valley can now be reached by road, although the village still remains fairly isolated.
Infants are required to sit on an adult’s lap. Service animals allowed. Infants and small children can ride in a pram or stroller. Suitable for all physical fitness levels. Wheelchair accessible
