About
Boca do Buraco, a local business on Madeira, is a viewpoint in Portugal where the Atlantic opens up before the island's volcanic terrain. The address places it in Portugal, on Madeira, one of the mid-Atlantic islands.

Visitors rate Boca do Buraco 4.8 out of 5, a figure drawn from 696 reviews, which places it among the island's most reviewed viewpoints. The spot is known for the panorama it commands over the surrounding landscape, and the nearby places of Funchal, Câmara de Lobos, Caniço, Machico, Santana, São Vicente, Porto Moniz and Calheta frame how people reach it. First-time visitors should expect a straightforward stop focused on the view rather than facilities, with the rating reflecting how consistently that outlook is received. The volume of reviews suggests it draws steady traffic from across Madeira.
Three photographs accompany the listing, giving a sense of the outlook before arrival. No opening hours are published for the viewpoint, so the address in Portugal remains the reference point for locating it.
Madeira's mid-Atlantic position brings a mild oceanic climate, keeping the landscape green throughout the year, while summer is the driest and warmest season. Island cooking draws on seafood landed fresh, beef and cheese from local farms, and wines produced from volcanic soils. Direct flights from Europe serve the mid-Atlantic islands, and Portuguese is the main language spoken on Madeira. A viewpoint such as Boca do Buraco fits naturally into a day of moving between the island's towns and coast.
