The Achadas da Cruz Cable Car offers a thrilling descent from the cliffs of Madeira’s northwestern coast down to the remote and scenic Fajã da Quebrada Nova. This unique cable car ride offers rugged coastal views, lush greenery, and the sparkling Atlantic below. At the base, visitors can wander through traditional farming terraces and soak in the tranquillity of this secluded area. A round-trip ticket costs just €5, making it one of the most affordable and scenic cable car rides on the island.

It’s a perfect spot for those looking to experience Madeira’s natural beauty and traditional landscape in a peaceful, untouched setting. The cable car journey itself is a memorable experience, offering one of the island’s most scenic and adventurous rides.
