In Madeira, everything seems to work together to make a wide range of activities possible. From the sea to the mountains, there are a myriad of possibilities. You can dive around these enchanted islands, where the clarity of the sea matches that of the air you breathe, walk on paths worn by man at a time when there were hardly any roads, whenever people wanted a short cut, or on the “levadas”, or waterways, hacked out by people of olden times from the rocks and mountain slopes, allowing them to carry water where it was in short supply.
 
When you walk this land, taking in artist artistry, not only do you witness incomparable landscapes at every step, but you also tread the pages of history written by the dauntless Madeirans of old who, with daring and determination, forged links where Nature had neglected to do so.
 
While Madeira provides innumerable activities to be enjoyed in the open air, you have the added bonus of being able to do so close to the towns, while still being able to walk great distances without encountering the more densely populated areas.
There is really no better testament to all of this than the feeling of contentment experienced by all who have the chance to travel to these magical islands and encounter Nature in this way. Nobody is untouched by it, that’s for sure.
