Ponta do Pargo

A little lower than their big brother, the Cabo Girao, the cliffs of Ponta do Parga are the westernmost tip of the island of Madeira. A small lighthouse crowns the top of the cliffs, over 400 metres above the crystalline turquoise waters. There are stunning views, and tranquility is guaranteed (the route is not one of the most popular trails). Be careful: there are strong winds and no safety equipment! One wrong step and ... splash!
