This 9-kilometer guided trail running experience is the best way to get to know the São Lourenço Peninsula. Always surrounded by the sea, this peninsula offers beautiful views of the water and of the volcanic formations and cliffs. If the weather is right, it also helps to have a swim halfway through to cool down.   Your track begins at the end of Caniçal Road (ER214) and follows a trail between the cliffs that make up the peninsula. Arrive in Casa do Sardinha and climb to the Pico do Furado, where you can catch an amazing view of the Baia d’Abra, as well as the islands of Porto Santo and Desertas.   On the descent, if the weather is good, you can dive into the clear waters of the Cais do Sardinha before returning to the starting point by the same trail.

Your half-day Southwest Madeira tour begins in Prazeres. You will be presented with a huge rocky scene which is typical of Madeira, and can visit Prazeres Farm Animal Zoo to try its famous Jellies. Afterwards, you will travel through Paul do Mar until you arrive to Fajã da Ovelha. This site surprises visitors with its magnificent yet quiet atmospher, which makes you feel like you are the only local residents. To conclude your itinerary you will visit the lighthouse of Ponta do Pargo. Situated at 312 meters high, you will be able to see breathtaking views of the ocean and the roughness of the landscape from its vantage point.
