Located just outside Ponta do Sol on the island of Madeira, Portugal, Cascata dos Anjos is a spectacular waterfall that cascades over the old highway ER 101. To get there, take the exit at the roundabout in Ponta do Sol when driving west from Ribeira Brava to Madalena do Mar on road VE3. Avoid going into the tunnel and instead, take the small road along the sea. After 1.8 kilometers, the waterfall comes into view, and passing vehicles get a refreshing shower as the water flows over the road. The road at Cascata dos Anjos is very narrow, and there is no designated stopping area, although it may be possible to pull over if traffic allows.
