Good To Know
Cabouco Viewpoint – Nature’s VIP Balcony
Hidden like a secret chapter in a fantasy novel, the Cabouco Viewpoint sits right off the ER103 road, in São Roque do Faial. Up here, you're not just looking at mountains — you're staring straight into Madeira’s rugged heart.
Take it all in:
🗻 Towering giants like Pico do Areeiro, Pico das Torres, and Cat Peak
🌿 Deep valleys unfolding below – Fajã Grande, Fajã do Cedro Gordo, and Cruzinhas
🌊 And all of it framed by the dramatic coastline and the legendary Penha d’Aguia rock in the distance
Climbing or driving to Cabouco isn’t just a walk or dirve— it’s an upgrade to your soul. The landscape rolls out like a green opera, sung by forests and rivers, conducted by clouds.
So bring your camera, your calm, and maybe something windproof — the view is wild, and the wind is wilder.
