Nowadays, traveling is experiencing, knowing and understanding what you see. Based on this idea, we developed the 5+2 program. What it means? In 5 days we will go hiking to explore the natural beauty of the island, its traditions and cultural heritage and in the remaining 2, take the opportunity to wander around freely and buy that souvenir for a loved one and in the other we will take you to discover Funchal beauty, strolling through its streets and iconic places on an exciting city tour.

The first settlers, in honour of the abundant fennel they found on the slopes of the village, gave the place the name of Funchal. The name is formed from the Portuguese word for fennel, "funcho", added with the suffix -"al", to denote "a fennel plantation. Funchal, the capital of the archipelago, then designates "the place where fennel grows".

MNP is a protected area rich in its natural heritage and the beauty of its landscapes and cultural heritage and is entirely open to the public.
To visit it is to discover nature! It is a space for recreation and leisure, preservation of memories, rural traditions, built heritage, agricultural and forest space, from the native forest, Laurissilva, to that of exotic forests. These peculiarities make it attractive, in the regional context, and also in the national and global contexts.
