Für unsere Reiseführerin Liane bitte extra nochmal 10 Plus Punte, sie war Super. Die Tour war sehr toll, nur schade dass es geregnet hat und wir in Fanal kein Nebel hatten.

the guide was very friendly and knowledgeable and was able to converse with all members of the group who spoke different languages. One minor disadvantage of this type of trip is that there is quite a bit of travel/stopping time which means that, whilst you are on a full day out, it is only a relatively time spent walking.

Es erfolgte keine Hotelabholung und es war lange nicht klar wo wir abgeholt werden. Die Sprache wurde von Deutsch auf Englisch umgestellt Im Bus waren die Sitze sehr eng beieinander. Sehr guter kommunikativer Reiseleiter, der sehr auf die Gruppe geachtet hat und viele Informationen geben konnte.

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.
