Es war eine super schöne Wanderung, es hat allerdings die ganze Zeit geregnet, der Boden war rutschig, und wir liefen teilweise durch kleine Bäche. Aber dafür kann ja niemand was. Man muss unbedingt wasserfeste Kleidung und Wanderschuhe anhaben. Der Lorbeerwald ist ein einmaliges Erlebnis. Eine kleine Anmerkung: Ab und zu ein kleiner Fotostop wäre gut.

Aus einer auf deutsch gebuchten Tour wurde eine internationale Tour, das war anstrengend im verstehen Wahrscheinlich auch für den Guide der nicht so gut auf deutsch war. Aber das hat er gut gemeistert

Eine wunderbare Wanderung durch den mystischen Lorbeerwald. Durch den Nebel ist es dort auch an heißen Tagen kühler und angenehm zu wandern. Allerdings sollte man eine gewisse Grundfitness mitbringen.

Unser Guide Maria erklärte viel und war nett. Strecke war gut frequentiert und wir hatten das Gefühl an eine Jogginggruppe geraten zu sein, viel zu "schnell schnell" Wir hätten sehr gerne mehr die Landschaft genießen wollen. Sehr viele verschiedene Stufen sind zu bewältigen. Man muss gut zu Fuß sein.

Nat Geo Day Tour: Local Farm Experience on Madeira’s Terraced Hills

Drive through Funchal's bustling town and Madeira's magnificent rolling hills towards Quinta Pedagogica da Camacha, a small farm committed to sustainable agriculture. Here, your National Geographic-trained guide will offer insights into the region and introduce you to the farm's owner, Bruno Santos. Having left accounting for agriculture, Bruno now dedicates his life to helping his neighborhood through sustainable farming, a lowered environmental footprint, and community outreach. Follow Bruno through flowering groves as you explore the grounds. You'll learn about the many uses for their freshly grown herbs and visit their strawberry plantation. Observe the fields and poios—what Madeirans call the terraced areas where they grow their crops—as you learn about the farm's produce and animal husbandry. The farm is home to various animals including chickens, goats, sheep, and more. There's even a small market Bruno created, to help other local vendors reach their greater community, inspired by the ‘buy local' mantra. You'll also experience a host of seasonal activities, offered exclusively to National Geographic travelers. Harvest ripe fruits and learn the proper techniques for sowing seeds in a planting workshop. This hands-on learning environment brings Bruno's sustainability and bio-friendly philosophy to life. Afterwards, you'll relax and enjoy refreshing tea brewed from the farm's own herbs, as well as homemade cakes, toast, and jams preserved from local fruits.
