Miradouro das Flores

Enjoy a peaceful and scenic horseback ride to Miradouro das Flores, a stunning viewpoint on the western edge of Porto Santo Island. This easy and relaxing trip lasts about 1 hour, providing a leisurely journey through some of the island's most picturesque landscapes.

Miradouro das Flores offers a spectacular view of Ilhéu da Cal, an island that played a crucial role in the survival of Porto Santo's early inhabitants. They extracted lime from Ilhéu da Cal, a dangerous and challenging task, which they sold for food and water, essential for life on Porto Santo.

From this viewpoint, you can also witness the dramatic beauty of Porto Santo's high, sharp cliffs that rise majestically along the east, north, and west of the island. On clear days, you can catch a glimpse of Madeira Island in the distance.
