Dit kun je verwachten

Op deze 4x4 tour ontdek je de avontuurlijke kant van Madeira. Onderweg kom je langs oogstrelende kusten, ongerepte bossen en duurzame producenten. Je vergaapt je aan het indrukwekkende landschap en komt meer te weten over de cultuur van het eiland. Ruben, een van onze deskundige lokale gidsen, zegt: "Op deze tour ontdek je de geheimen van poncha, de populaire drank op het eiland op basis van rietsuikerrum, vruchtensap en lokale honing. Maar doe het rustig aan - de fruitige, verfrissende poncha is sterker dan je denkt.”

Je trapt af in Ponta do Sol en hebt een episch uitzicht op de zuidkust vanaf het plateau van Paul da Serra, 1400m boven de zeespiegel. Dan ga je naar Fanal, waar enkele van de oudste laurierbomen van het eiland groeien. Ruben zegt: "Madeira's Laurierbossen zijn de grootste overgebleven primaire Laurisilva bossen ter wereld. Sommige bomen zijn vermoedelijk zo'n 800 jaar oud en het ecosysteem is grotendeels intact. Het bos herbergt ongeveer 100 inheemse soorten en is een beschermde werelderfgoedlocatie van UNESCO.”

Je komt langs de traditionele 'poios' landbouwterrassen en neemt een duik in zee bij het strand van Seixal. Om dan in Chão da Ribeira te smullen van een lokale lunch. Chef Sérgio laat je zien hoe je de klassieke gegrilde rundvleesspies - in het Portugees bekend als 'espetada' – maakt. En je komt al vast in de stemming met een glas Madeirawijn als aperitief. Als je liever geen vlees eet, kun je kiezen voor een veganistische hamburger. Je sluit de tour af in São Vicente waar je een biologische honingproducent ontmoet. Je komt alles te weten over de honingproductie en probeert zelf de traditionele drank van Madeira, poncha, in elkaar te flansen.

    Pick up 30 min late, Land Rover broke down, had to sit at rear, sideways so didn't see much and was a bouncy ride. Difficult to hear commentary.

Nat Geo Day Tour: Sustainable Agriculture in Quinta Pedagógica da Camacha

Drive through Funchal's bustling town and Madeira's magnificent rolling hills towards Quinta Pedagogica da Camacha, a small farm committed to sustainable agriculture. Here, your National Geographic-trained guide will offer insights into the region and introduce you to the farm's owner, Bruno Santos. Having left accounting for agriculture, Bruno now dedicates his life to helping his neighborhood through sustainable farming, a lowered environmental footprint, and community outreach. Follow Bruno through flowering groves as you explore the grounds. You'll learn about the many uses for their freshly grown herbs and visit their strawberry plantation. Observe the fields and poios—what Madeirans call the terraced areas where they grow their crops—as you learn about the farm's produce and animal husbandry. The farm is home to various animals including chickens, goats, sheep, and more. There's even a small market Bruno created, to help other local vendors reach their greater community, inspired by the ‘buy local' mantra. You'll also experience a host of seasonal activities, offered exclusively to National Geographic travelers. Harvest ripe fruits and learn the proper techniques for sowing seeds in a planting workshop. This hands-on learning environment brings Bruno's sustainability and bio-friendly philosophy to life. Afterwards, you'll relax and enjoy refreshing tea brewed from the farm's own herbs, as well as homemade cakes, toast, and jams preserved from local fruits.
