This off-road route starts at the Portela viewpoint, where you can admire the beauty of the districts of Porto da Cruz and Faial, near the imposing rock of Penha d’Águia. The tour continues along the forest road of the Serra das Funduras, where we can observe the magnificent Laurissilva Forest on the northern slope of the Island, considered by UNESCO as a World Natural Heritage site and included in the European network of sites of Community importance – Natura 2000 Network. Along the trail through this forest you can admire the extraordinary beauty of the endemic flora and fauna of the island of Madeira. The verdigris of the trees, the melodious singing of the birds and the whole environment is almost magical and fantastical. Embrace the natural surroundings while you drive and enjoy unique places where you can relax a little. At the end of the route you will find the “Casa das Funduras”, a beautiful country house that supports the forest activities of the area. This trail is one of the most exciting, in which the driver has to apply himself or herself to overcome all the obstacles of the terrain. Please Note: Minimum Age for Passengers - 7 Years Old

It is a lot of fun to drive through the mud with the buggy 👍😀 The guy is great and explains everything to know to drive the buggy 😀
Thanks for an amazing adventure. There were some challenges with the buggy but that’s part of the game and it only made it more fun and challenging. The guide was a super good storyteller and it was super interesting to hear about the history and forests during the trip. We were a group of 6 people which was not an issue at all. Madeira best was super helpful with the booking. High recommendation from us. We would definitely do it again!
