Achadas da Cruz

"Located in the extreme northwest of the island of Madeira, Calhau das Achadas da Cruz is one of the most relevant points of interest in the municipality of Porto Moniz. Between the grandeur of the mountains and the liveliness of the sea, this is a place that is increasingly sought after for its unique scenery. Here, the attention turns to the Achadas da Cruz Cable Car, which establishes the connection between the Achadas da Cruz area and the Quebrada Nova fajã. Once at this fajã, visitors have the opportunity to enjoy the serenity of this small pebble beach — but the greatest pleasure is in the journey. While climbing the steep slope of the slope, this cable car allows you to access a panoramic (and truly chilling) view of the blue depths of the Atlantic Ocean, in contrast with the green of the mountain. In the background, the fajã with its cultivated land. The high level of agricultural productivity in this location was, in fact, one of the main reasons for the creation of the cable car, which helps farmers reach their land and transport their harvests. Access to Calhau das Achadas da Cruz can also be via Vereda do Calhau or Vereda da Ladeira."

"You can take a gondola down to this little piece of land. "
