4. Caldeirão Verde: On top of the man-made features of Madeira, we discovered beautiful natural sights. On one day we enjoyed lunch at Caldeirão Verde, the ‘Green Cauldron’, so called due to the plunging waterfall which falls into a green clearing surrounded by high trees and the tall cliff that it falls from.
The photographers in our group used the chance to get some fantastic shots. It's also a historic spot, completed with a visit to 'Casas de Santana', which are traditional A-framed houses.
With so many walks and trails to choose from, almost every route offers breathtaking landscapes and views. Whether it's soaking up the island's central mountain range or panoramic vistas across the North Atlantic Ocean, there's always another breathtaking view just around the corner.
On our small group tour to Madeira, we didn't just observe, we interacted with the landscapes, too, whether that was diving into the brilliant blue waters or darting beneath tremendous waterfalls.
