Madeira - Miradouro dos Balcões - Tour to the Spectacular Viewpoint 4K

Tour with detours to the Miradouro dos Balcões, the spectacular viewpoint with breathtaking views towards the coast with Porta da Cruz and Eagle Rocks, the Ribeira da Metade Valley and the central mountains with the Pico do Arieiro and the Pico Ruivo. Another highlight at Miradouro dos Balcões are the extremely trusting birds (including chaffinches) that can be fed from your hand.

2 more tips:

1. If you let Google Maps guide you by car to the Miradouro dos Balcões, it may happen that, like us, you are directed onto a forest path into the Ribeira da Metade valley. If you park your car there, continue on foot and hear the "You have reached your destination", you will see the Miradouro about 400m above you without being able to reach it.

2. If you want to go to the Miradouro dos Balcões, it is best to park your car in Ribeiro Frio. Since parking spaces are very limited there, you should get there either very early or in the afternoon around 3:00 p.m., when the tourist buses and most of the visitors have left.
