Good To Know
Hidden high up in the dramatic heart of Madeira, the Viewpoint of Chão dos Terreiros is not your average "let's-pull-over-and-snap-a-selfie" kind of spot. Nope. This stunner is only reachable by a proper hike or a bone-rattling 4x4 ride—because the road less travelled is, apparently, a vertical dirt trail with a personality.
Once you get there? Boom—panoramic views of endless mountain ridges, sunlit valleys sprinkled with yellow flowers, and the Atlantic peeking shyly in the distance. Instagram won’t know what hit it.
Looking for adventure? Craving silence (except for your own wheezing)? This is it. Whether you're hiking it like a mountain goat or riding shotgun in a dusty 4x4, Chão dos Terreiros is the kind of viewpoint that whispers, “told ya it was worth it.”
