Madeira, often called the "Island of Eternal Spring," is a stunning archipelago located in the North Atlantic Ocean, southwest of Portugal. Known for its lush landscapes, dramatic cliffs, and mild climate year-round, Madeira is a paradise for nature lovers.
The island boasts beautiful levadas (irrigation channels) that double as scenic hiking trails through its famous Laurisilva forest, a UNESCO World Heritage site.
The rugged coastline is dotted with striking rock formations, volcanic pools, and pristine beaches.
The capital city, Funchal, offers a blend of vibrant culture, historical sites, and delicious local cuisine, including the island's famous Madeiran wine.
With its mix of outdoor adventure, botanical gardens, and charming villages, Madeira is a perfect destination for both relaxation and exploration.

The Funchal Botanical Garden was built in 1960 – it is located at a distance of 3 km from the center of Funchal.
The garden, which offers the ideal conditions for the flourishing of the most diverse flora from all over the world, was opened on the grounds of the Quinta do Bom Sucesso, which was (at that time) owned by the Reid family.
