Hidden gems

Discover Dursey, Co. Cork by travelling across on the cablecar, the lifeblood of the island.

We are stunning landscapes, dense verdant forests, volcanic mountains, flower gardens with exuberant colours, the taste of passion fruit and swimming in the Atlantic's blue waters. We are the destination for those seeking a bluer sky and brighter sun, we are warmth and smiles, an exemplary hospitality which brings peace of mind and security. We are a Portuguese island chain with four groups of islands: Madeira, Porto Santo, Desertas and Selvagens, and only the two larger islands (Madeira and Porto Santo) are inhabited. The other islands (Desertas and Selvagens) are natural reserves which do justice to their names.

Exuberant landscapes are one of the island of Madeira's biggest tourist attractions. Incredible scenarios awaken the senses and leave a permanent mark, no matter what time of year you come to visit. With such diverse and magnificent natural spaces, you can choose a more calm activity, or awaken your adrenaline with extreme sports. Get ready to discover settings alive with colour and movement that are so fabulous you will want to keep coming back time and again.
