Named after João Gonçalves Zarco's caravel, who exclaimed, "São Lourenço, that's enough!" upon seeing this land. Enjoy an amazing walk with breathtaking views of the rugged landscape and ocean vistas.
Your adventure begins with a pickup from your accommodation. As we drive towards the Ponta de São Lourenço area in Caniçal, we might pause at a quaint local spot for a brief refreshment break, though this stop is not guaranteed. Upon arrival, our hike begins along the eastern peninsula of Madeira Island.
The trail offers stunning views and unique vegetation distinct from the rest of the island, including Everlasting (Helichrysum devium Johns) and the Ice Flower (Mezembryanthemum crystallinum). Classified as a partial natural reserve and part of the Natura 2000 network, Ponta de São Lourenço is home to several protected seabirds such as Cory's shearwater, the Madeiran storm-petrel, Bulwer’s petrel, and the common tern. You may also spot other bird species like the Berthelot's pipit, goldfinch, and canary. This 6km walk, with an elevation gain of around 100 meters, is of easy-moderate difficulty and typically takes around 3 hours and 30 minutes to complete.
As we walk, you'll be amazed by the fantastic scenery, with views of the Deserted Islands to the south and the Islands of Porto Santo to the north, weather permitting. This hike allows you to see both the northern and southern coasts of Madeira simultaneously.
Upon reaching Casa do Sardinha at the end of the path, we'll take a few minutes to rest before returning along the same trail. This tour offers a comprehensive experience of Madeira's natural beauty, perfect for nature lovers and adventure enthusiasts alike.
