This amazing adventure in a 4x4 open roof vehicle will give you the sensation of touching the clouds, the nature, plants, and fruits. In an open-top 4x4 you can stand up to take photos and admire unique and privileged looks at the stunning nature. Off-road experience up and down the mountain avoiding the tourist crowd, with an expert and knowledgeable guide. This tour concludes where the green of the mountains merges with the blue of the crystalline waters of the Atlantic Ocean, taking you through the historical ancient roads and forest areas, a symbiosis between culture, history, nature, and gastronomy.

Starting in Serra D’Água, the abrupt valley dividing the massif from the only plateau this island has, this tour takes you to the lush northwest, where waterfalls melt into the ocean and lava has been shaped into cerulean pools. Feel the adrenalin-adventure of exploring primitive back-roads surrounded by native forest. Walk alongside the famous man-made channels called Levadas while witnessing stunning views of the landscape. This will be an incredible adventure filled with unforgettable memories.

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

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.
