Paredão Viewpoint

Perched on the Montado do Paredão, along the scenic road linking Curral das Freiras to Pico do Areeiro, the Paredão Viewpoint is a must-stop for anyone exploring Madeira’s central mountains.

With two distinct vantage points, this viewpoint offers unique perspectives of the island. On one side, the view opens onto the deep Curral das Freiras valley, framed by imposing peaks and dramatic slopes; on the other, it reveals the city of Funchal stretching all the way to the Atlantic Ocean.

Part of the site is accessible to visitors with reduced mobility, ensuring that everyone can enjoy the Curral das Freiras panorama in comfort and safety. The peaceful atmosphere and natural surroundings make it an open invitation to contemplation at any time of day.

Whether it’s a brief stop along a driving route or a place to admire sunrise or sunset over the mountains, the Paredão Viewpoint delivers unforgettable moments and a privileged perspective over two of Madeira’s most striking landscapes: the rugged mountain interior and the island’s southern coast.
