Paul da Serra XC (40km, 450m)

STARTING IN THE HIGH MOUNTAIN PLATEAU, WE WILL RIDE DEEP INTO ONE OF THE MOST BEAUTIFUL RAIN FOREST IN MADEIRA!

This tour starts in Paúl da Serra, Madeira´s plateau (Alt. 1500m). Away from the city life, surrounded by windmills and amazing views over the north valleys, a long ride in fantastic rocky but not steep single-trails will take us to the western part of this plateau. We have the opportunity to visit the Fanal area, famous for its amazing endemic trees surrounded by peaceful grazing cows. Moments later and after the guide’s suggestion based on riders skills, we have the possibility to ride some forest single trails or continue on the road and on dirt roads until we finish in Ribeira da Janela, a beautiful descent with amazing views over the imposing North Coast!
