Madeira Island Vacation Travel Guide | Expedia

Madeira Island - Caught in the warm trade winds of the North Atlantic, visitors here are spoiled with dramatic cliffs and coastal charm.

Pushed up by volcanic forces from the seafloor, #MadeiraIsland is a wonderful #vacation #destination. Volcanic activity settled millennia ago, yet the island’s rich soils and spring climate means Madeira explodes in lush vegetation all year round.

#Visit Madeira’s capital, Funchal. Walk streets paved with patterned stonework and #explore centuries-old churches and homes, which have endured pirate raids, German U-boat attacks, and earthquakes.

Head to Cabo Girão, one of the world’s mightiest cliffs. At Garajau, watch divers far below enjoying the undersea gardens of the marine reserve.

Madeira’s ring road strings together coastal towns and beaches, each one a little different from the last. Madeira’s northern coastline offers plenty of drama and adventure too.

Explore Pico do Arieiro, Madeira’s third-highest peak. From here, experienced hikers can follow knife-edged trails to even higher peaks, the same peaks that guided Portuguese mariners to Madeira six centuries ago.

For now, we hope you enjoy watching this #travel #guide as much as we enjoyed making it.

I never Visite Madeira but the video is very interesting. May visit it sometime. My grandma always tells me about this hidden place in the atlantic.

Apart from its fortified wines and favorite footballing son, Cristiano Ronaldo, most folk know little about the island of Madeira. If that sounds like you, join us on a mile-high adventure as we explore the coastline, spires and culture of this incredible Atlantic garden.

[VAISHALISHARMA]

While watching, I was thinking, does this place really exist?
It's naturally beautiful beyond human imagination.🌍🍃

[SusanME]

I think these Expedia Travel Guides are the best I have seen. So interesting and informative. They are so beautifully descriptive and the history is told in an engaging manner.

Thank you for this beautiful tour of Madeira. My grandmother was born in Funchal and immigrated to Hawaii when she was 13 years old. I may never get to visit Madeira so I savor well produced videos like this.
