Eastern Island Tour: Pico do Arieiro/Santana

Pico do Arieiro is the second highest summit on the island (1810 m).

After visiting the beautiful area of Faial, guests can climb up to Santana, famous for its typical triangular thatched houses. The images of these houses are one of the most popular, well known and recognised pictures of Madeira. This city owes its name to its patron: Saint Anne.

Guests can buy these articles in any of the several souvenir shops around the island.

At Ponta de São Lourenço, guests enjoy a magnificent view of the most eastern point of the island.
