Why Ponta de Sao Lourenco matters

Ponta de Sao Lourenco looks different from the rest of Madeira: no lush forest, just red cliffs, blue sea and a bare ridge. A coastal trail leads out along the peninsula, with views at every bend. Bring water and a hat, as shade is scarce.

Talking points

  • Landscape is arid, not green.
  • Trail is mostly open.
  • Bring water and sun protection.
