São Pedro Church (Ponta do Pargo)

Highlight • Religious Site

Founded in the mid-16th century, this parish was founded on land that used to belong to the parish of Fajã da Ovelha. He settled in the small chapel of São Pedro, from which he took the patron saint, a chapel that has been rebuilt twice in different, albeit nearby, locations. A resolution of the Finance Council of July 20, 1690 ordered the auction of the work on the new church in Ponta do Pargo, with a budget of 2231 $600 Réis, with a discount of $60 000 Réis, the value of the stone of the old church. This parish, in a way, accompanied the vicissitudes that the parish of Porto do Moniz was going through: thus it incorporated the new parish when it was founded in 1835, becoming part of the parish of Calheta in 1849, and was again incorporated into that of Porto do Moniz when it was formed in 1855 has been restored.

February 15, 2024,Ponta do Pargo nach Miradouro da Boa Morte und danach zum Leuchtturm - Madeira

February 2024: There was an apparently very large forest fire in autumn 2023 that also spread to the towns. The forest region is full of charred trees, the Levada Velha is dried out and not maintained, many houses are broken and abandoned. The tour was ok, the views were nice, but my overall impression was clouded by it. I would …

A very beautiful, easy hike with a steep climb to the levada. The path then continues along the levadas, with a few descents and ascents back to the starting point. A truly worthwhile hike.

March 21, 2022,Wanderung rund um Ponta do Pargo

Very nice tour with super deep views.
CAUTION! Definitely don't turn right from the last viewpoint/waterfall on the way back, but up the road again and then back to Pont do Pargo!
Our detour turned out to be very steep with unsecured cliff faces.

March 27, 2024,Levada Nova - Miradores entlang der Küste von ER101 oberhalb von Cabo.

The tour combines the Levada Nova with three great viewpoints on the coast. The detour to the Garganta Funda waterfall is worth it, there is more than just a view of the coast. We decided to start the tour with the Levada, so that at the end those who are "lame with feet" have the opportunity to wait at the …

May 19, 2024,Madeira-Ponta do Pargo, Miradouro da Boa Morte, Levada Nova Runde

Varied hike along the Levada and back along coastal paths. At the beginning, it goes through the burnt eucalyptus forest, which is now a fern forest, but in which the eucalyptus trees are already sprouting again :). There are always beautiful views of the sea along the Levada. From the junction of the Levada, it goes very steeply down to …

July 11, 2022,🇵🇹 Madeira: Ponta do Pargo - Levada Nova - Cabo 11.07.2022

A beautiful circular walk along a levada and later above the coast with breathtaking views.
Recommendation by Ralf Goetz from his hiking guide.

April 22, 2025,Ponta do Pargo

A circular trail near Ponta do Pargo. First, it climbs to the Levada Nova, which winds along the slopes of the forest destroyed by the devastating fire of 2023, and then returns through picturesque coastal villages with three breathtaking viewpoints of the cliffs.

At kilometer 11.3 km you have the possibility to simply go back on the way there. Otherwise it is very steep a slippery path into the gorge and climbing back to the path
