The most famous hike in Madeira features several tunnels, each revealing extraordinary and sometimes even magical views. Each tunnel feels like a portal to another world, with landscapes so different on either side that it’s hard to believe they’re all part of the same trail. 🌿✨
This video was filmed at the passage through the first such tunnel along the route. Although, I would even say it’s more of an arch 🤔
