The location at 9350-332 sits inland on Madeira, away from the main coastal resort strip. Volcanic peaks, crater lakes and steep terraced fields shape the landscape of most islands in this group, and the viewpoint looks out over that kind of terrain. Drivers coming from the coastal towns climb through the interior to reach it, and the route itself forms part of the outing.
Music and dance are central to island life, from morna and coladeira to Azorean folk songs. The ocean moderates temperatures, so the climate stays mild for the latitude and extremes of heat and cold are rare. Winter months on Madeira are cooler and windier, so a visit in the drier, calmer stretch of the year suits the exposed position of a viewpoint.
