This section on Madeira's northern coast is a protected ecosite with a unique volcanic red landscape thats often described as 'Mars in Madeira'.

Located in the parish of Caniçal on Madeira Island, Ponta do Bode is a must visit if you want to see the red rocky landscapes without doing any hiking, as its pretty much accessible by road.
