Garganta Funda is one of Madeira’s most dramatic waterfalls, located near Ponta do Pargo on the island’s westernmost edge. The name means "Deep Throat," which perfectly describes the way the water plunges down a steep, narrow cliff into a lush ravine below. The best time to visit is after rainfall, as the waterfall can sometimes dry up in the summer months.
Fun fact: Unlike many waterfalls in Madeira that are hidden deep in the forest, Garganta Funda is easily accessible via a short walk from a nearby viewpoint, offering breathtaking coastal views along the way!
