Pico da Murta Viewpoint

The Pico da Murta Viewpoint, located in the parish of Serra de Água in the municipality of Ribeira Brava, is a must-see panoramic spot for anyone visiting Madeira and seeking views above the mountains. Situated near Encumeada, next to Pousada dos Vinháticos, it offers a 360° panoramic view over the deep Serra de Água valley. From above, valleys covered in dense vegetation, rugged peaks, and green slopes descending to the village of Ribeira Brava unfold.

The observation platform at Pico da Murta Viewpoint invites a moment of peaceful contemplation, ideal for appreciating the natural surroundings and the breathtaking landscapes of Madeira. Access to the viewpoint is via stairs winding up the slope along an inclined path that gradually reveals the scenery. The recently upgraded ascent makes the experience more comfortable and even more memorable.
