Fanal Forest in Madeira is a magical Laurisilva forest with 600-year-old trees that seem to come straight out of a fairy tale! The forest is often shrouded in mist and with its twisted branches covered in moss, it creates an eerie but magical vibe thats perfect for photography.

You may have to visit mutiple times to catch the forest in the fog, but the ever-changing weather conditions create different moods and experiences each time you visit!

Tip: Keep an eye on the weather conditions and head here when it's cloudy in the mountains if you want to see Fanal in the fog!
