The Achadas da Cruz Viewpoint has a cable car that connects this location to the beach, and gives an excellent view of the Atlantic and Fajã da Achadas da Cruz.

The viewpoint located in the municipality of Porto Moniz, is the place where you make the transition between the north and south coast of the island of Madeira.

From this point we can enjoy a beautiful view of the sea, the agricultural land and Fajã da Achadas da Cruz, the village of Porto Moniz, the green slopes and the ocean.

The Achadas da Cruz Viewpoint is the place where you make the transition between the North and South coast of Madeira Island.

To the north of the island of Madeira, the municipality of Porto Moniz is made up of three more parishes: Achadas da Cruz, Ribeira da Janela and Seixal.

This municipality became connected to the rest of the island after World War II when the construction of the road that connects Porto Moniz to the municipality of São Vicente was excavated in the hillside and crossed by waterfalls that flowed into the sea.

This road is one of the most beautiful roads in Madeira, but for safety reasons tunnels were built due to falling rocks, but it is still possible to cross the most emblematic places on this road.

In the extreme northwest of the island of Madeira, the settlement of Achadas da Cruz was a very slow process as it is located at a high altitude.

The Cattle Fair takes place annually, attracting many people to an area with exhibitions on products and materials related to agriculture and cultural and recreational activities are also carried out.

Tourists visiting this parish can take a trip using the Achadas da Cruz cable car, a comfortable and safe means of transport, offering magnificent views over the greenery of Porto Moniz, the coastline and the ocean.

The real gem is the walk along the seafront (explore the beach area) and back through the farms and chalets, this is a world heritage site and no wonder, a true revelation into the past lives of some Madeirans.

Below visitors can enjoy truly isolated beaches and a sugarcane plantation, a very peaceful and relaxing landscape.

The Miradouro is a place where you can go up and down by cable car, there is a small village at the bottom where you can walk along the irregular coastal escarpment on a cobblestone path with stunning views for miles.

The path winds for a few kilometers between the village and the coast, and it is a peaceful place that allows you to enjoy the view in magical peace, when you are done exploring and absorbing the views, and to climb to the top just get on the cable car and press the green button to enjoy the magnificent ride again.
