Miradouro Vereda dos Zimbreiros is an enchanting pathway that will take you to its final destination, Paul do Mar. This charming 1.6-mile out and back trail, located near Fajã da Ovelha, Madeira offers breathtaking views of the Atlantic coast and untouched natural landscapes.

This location has an uncanny way of transporting me straight to the Wild West. It's the cacti, the heat, the rustic wheel – so unconventional for the typical Madeiran landscape.

A trip down memory lane reveals that a similar wheel once existed in Paul do Mar, an ancient funicular serving as a crucial mode of transport for people and goods into the town.

Along the hike, hikers can look forward to glimpses of species of native wildlife. The path has been designated a moderately challenging route, taking hikers an average of 1 h 40 min to finish. Whether its taken in the morning or late afternoon, Vegarda dos Zimbreiros promises visitors a peaceful and stunningly beautiful experience!
