The Amazing Experience
Access by cable car
The ride entails approximately 300 meters, experienced in a two and a half minutes downward travel along the coast of the huge cliff down to Fajã dos Padres. Through the cable car panoramic windows visitors can enjoy each minute of the descent; admire the southern coast of Madeira all the way to Ponta do Sol, the small bay and fertile ground of Fajã which gets nearer every second or, simply, enjoy the view of the sea as far as the sight beholds.
Fajã dos Padres cable car distances 28.5 km from the airport, about 10km from Funchal, and less than 6 km from Ribeira Brava.
