Descubra a Ilha com este passeio Jeep Safari Freiras e Vales
Conhecido por ter sido o local onde as freiras do convento de Santa Clara, no Funchal, encontraram um lugar para se esconderem dos ataques dos corsários franceses nos séculos XV/XVI, é no Pico dos Barcelos que nasce este passeio, um miradouro com uma vista soberba sobre a baía da capital.
Prosseguimos a nossa viagem deixando para trás o centro urbano e rumando em direção à serra onde podemos encontrar vários pontos com vistas deslumbrantes sobre os vales onde a aldeia se espalha lá embaixo.
Rodeado de montanhas, com o azul do oceano suplantado pelo azul celeste e pelo pitoresco maciço ao fundo, aqui podemos saborear licores, pastelaria e outros produtos que só se encontram nesta região.
