Traveler reviews
Maria Cármen
★★★★★2 years agoThis is a breathtaking viewpoint that promises a truly unforgettable experience. Perched at an elevation of 1,007 meters (3,304 feet) above sea level, this viewpoint offers panoramic vistas that are nothing short of awe-inspiring. From Boca da Corrida, visitors are treated to sweeping views of the dramatic mountain landscapes and lush valleys that define Madeira's interior. The scene is particularly magical during sunrise or sunset when the changing light paints the sky and terrain with an array of colors. It's a photographer's paradise.

★★★★★2 years agoGreat place to see the sunset! Also, it's a good starting point to hike for Pico Grande. Parking is very small! Only for +/- 10 cars, so better be earlier than sorry ;)
