Teleférico

4.4(170 reviews)

About

Teleférico serves Madeira from Caminho das Babosas 8, 9050-541 Funchal, Ilha da Madeira, Portugal, on the slopes above the capital. Visitors have given it 4.4 out of 5 from 170 reviews, a solid showing for a viewpoint on the island. Reaching it is straightforward from Funchal, and the towns of Câmara de Lobos, Caniço, Machico, Santana, São Vicente, Porto Moniz and Calheta are all on the same island road network. The viewpoint operates as a cable car, and its website at http://www.madeiracablecar.com/ carries the practical detail for a trip. Teleférico sits above Funchal on the Babosas road, close enough to the city that it can be folded into a day in the capital. The ocean moderates temperatures across Madeira, so the climate stays mild for the latitude and extremes of heat and cold are rare. Volcanic peaks, crater lakes and steep terraced fields shape the landscape of most Atlantic islands, and the view from this point takes in that terrain. A 4.4 rating across 170 reviews makes Teleférico one of the better-known viewpoints above Funchal.
