The landscape that the Cabo Girão viewpoint has to offer is a must-see, from the top of its imposing 580 meters. This promontory, located to the west of the Madeiran capital, is the second-highest in the world and the highest in Europe. The fabulous view it offers over the crystal clear waters of the Atlantic Ocean and the Câmara de Lobos bay is one of the most popular places for those who visit Madeira Island. For adrenaline junkies, this is a privileged place to practice paragliding and base-jumping. Recently, parachutist Mário Pardo made a spectacular motorcycle jump from here.
