This is a lookout point high above the coast in the northeast of Madeira. This Viewpoint is a part of the Larano Trail. It takes about 5 KM from Machico or Porto da Cruz to get there. It's the highlight of Larano trail. This hike starts off by following a flat levada before climbing up to the Boca do Risco, and then traversing the cliffside to the west. It finishes by dropping to the coast at Porto da Cruz, after a very varied and exhilarating hike.

Best time for: Sunrise

📍: 5KM hike from Porto da Cruz or Machico
