Achadas da Cruz Cable Car

As it slides down the steep slope, the cable car that connects Achadas da Cruz to the Fajã da Quebrada Nova becomes a kind of moving viewpoint. The travel experience becomes, of course, truly unforgettable.

In this place, situated in the municipality of Porto Moniz, the scenery is inextricably marked by the presence of the clear and live sea (typical of the north coast of the island of Madeira), as well as by the imposing rugged green hills which define the shade of the landscape.

Arriving at the Fajã da Quebrada Nova, visitors are then invited to enjoy the peacefulness that characterises this place. This small pebble beach is the ideal place to contemplate the Atlantic, but not only. The 'fajã', due to the high agricultural productivity of this area, displays a set of cultivated land that embellishes the whole scenery.

This way, this cable car serves, apart from the tourist purpose, as a fundamental aid in transporting farmers and their harvests (one of the main reasons why it was created). Take this unique opportunity to enjoy the view over the north coast of the island of Madeira while you are climbing this high slope.
