A experiência começa com uma incrível viagem de teleférico de última geração com a duração de cerca de 3 minutos, que nos transporta desde a Quinta Grande até à Fajã dos Padres, vencendo um desnível de mais de 300 metros da enorme arriba que limita a Fajã a norte. Durante cerca de uma hora, conheceremos então a Fajã dos Padres, percorredo caminhos antigos abertos ao longo dos pomares de árvores de fruta subtropical, muitas vezes cobertos por parreiras de vinha Malvasia, a casta mais nobre do afamado vinho Madeira. Durante o passeio, os visitantes ficarão a conhecer a história da Fajã dos Padres e simultaneamente parte da história da ilha da Madeira, o processo de cultivo biológico de um sem número de plantas subtropicais, algumas bastante exóticas. A história da vinha e do vinho da Madeira, e as razões para se ter promovido a sua cultura ao longo dos séculos neste local tão remoto, mas tão fértil geram sempre um interesse particular entre os visitantes. Terminamos com uma prova de fruta subtropical biológica produzida localmente. Consoante a época do ano, teremos oportunidade de provar banana, maracujá, manga, papaia, pera-abacate, pitanga, e outras curiosidades ocasionais. Outras observações O programa poderá ser reagendado ou cancelado dependendo das condições meteorológicas ou por dificuldade de acesso à Fajã dos Padres.

Welcome to this experience .Thank you for reading and checking my experience . I am a crazy Nature lover that 2 years ago just stoped working in hotels to discover Madeira . I am recomended by Lonely Planet as a local guide to spend a day with,and believe me it was a random meeting in a bar/restaurant with them and then after a few drinks it was like 3 friends talking about Nature. I have a real enormus love for Nature and i adore going to Nature and explore the forest and the coast away from crowds..

There is so many things that I adore to do in the Nature,for example I adore doing the famous peak to peak hike and just stay in a shelter at night time to be able to see a sunset millions of stars and a sunrise. And I love to do a amazing hike to a “lost abandoned village “ and stay for the sunset enjoying a out of this world night drinking a bottle of wine and staying in a century year old shelter watching the biggest waves in the island with no one near. Also I would like to say that I can do 16 pax on a tour if it’s a group of people that are together to explore Madeira

I will guide you through one of the biggest banana plantation in the island. This is a fun experience in my born place, a sub tropical village of Madeira. I grew up playing around and watching my neighbours working in the area. I also worked on my father's plots until I leaved Madeira to get my degree in mainland. Once surrounded by waterfalls and huge banana plants we will explore hidden paths in this kind of "jungle". I will identify the different varieties and explain the techniques of cultivation. I will talk about some producing secrets and its economic importance. On our way we will see people farming and with luck will have the opportunity to have a quick taste of other tropical fruits we will collect directly from the trees.You will also notice typical constructions used by banana´s farmers. Such curiosities represents a folk`s legacy we should share. When we reach the highest point of our cultural tour we will stop, take a look to the view and have a break with banana taste. We will restore energy with nutritious bananas. Come! Pick your camera and let's see how madeirans contribute to the european stock of the most consumed fruit in the world.

Follow the guide along remote dirt tracks to discover the island on a different way, far from the touristic places. Each vehicle seats two people, allowing for double the fun as you cruise around. We will cross landscapes from sea to mountains, passing through our forest that is world heritage - Laurissilva Forest - and making stops to enjoy the stunning landscapes and take photos to later remember, but we can guarantee that it will be unforgettable! Join us @funadventuresmadeira For private groups of up to 4 people there is the opportunity of the Buggy + Quad experience, where you can experience driving two different vehicles in just one trip!
