Itinerary

Miradouro Pico Dos Barcelos

10 min

This exciting journey will take you 355 meters above sea level, showing one of the most splendid panoramic views over the city of Funchal Bay. This viewpoint is known as Pico dos Barcelos and is located in Funchal, providing a fascinating panoramic view of the city.
Miradouro Eira do Serrado

20 min

Continuing this journey towards another great perspective of the island, located at an elevation of 1,095 m above sea level. The Eira do Serrado viewpoint is in the mountains in the city of Câmara de Lobos.

This spot shows a fantastic panoramic view of the valley, where one can see the charming village of Curral das Freiras, and the most majestic mountains have a backdrop.

From up there, you will be able to soak up all the beauty, and the sounds of nature that are asking to be appreciated and felt.

This viewpoint/terrace was built in 1962, having had some upgrades through the years to make it even more inviting to all its guests.

All these facts and many more, you can expect to be told on your tuk-tuk ride with us at Tukway.
Valley of the Nuns

30 min

With this tour, we aim to show our lovely Tukway friends the best viewpoints the island has to offer, and the last one of this journey will be the Nuns Valley.

Why the name Nuns Valley one might ask. Because back in 1566, some nuns from the Santa Clara Convent in Funchal sought refuge in this remote spot whilst French pirates attacked and plundered their city.

Since then, this place was named and known as Nuns Valley.

Surrounded by massive mountains, bursting with green vegetation, and the peace and solitude that this place offers are undeniably one of a kind.

You will be able to take all this amazingness with a 30-minute spot at this place.
