What to expect

Join this combo expedition by combining a jeep tour with a Levada walk. You will experience Madeirais wilderness by jeep and by foot when entering the Laurissilva forest in the heart of Madeira.

Porto da Cruz, where you'll do the first Levada walk, is a rural village where the main activity is agriculture. It's famous for the local table wine, the production of rum, and surfing. You can also find one of the oldest sugar cane refineries here and taste some rum. Continue to Ribeiro Frio where you'll enter the heart of the natural park during a second Levada walk.

Explore the local flora and endemic vegetation of Madeira. Then continue to Pico do Arieiro which is the third-highest peak on the island with an altitude of 1818m.

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.
