Pico do Facho is a significant historical and scenic viewpoint located near Machico, on Madeira's eastern side. Historically, this peak was used as a lookout point where bonfires (fachos) were lit to warn the population of approaching pirate ships. Today, it offers breathtaking panoramic views of Machico Bay, the city, and the rugged coastline extending towards Ponta de São Lourenço. Accessible by road, it's an easy and rewarding stop for stunning vistas and a touch of island history.
