Traditional Santana house at Pico das Pedras

Highlight • Monument

The small houses were formerly inhabited by the peasants, today they are usually empty and can be visited as a sight on Madeira. Typical of these houses are the triangular shape and the colors, which are mostly red and blue. The thick thatched roofs provide a very good protection against thunderstorms.

Queimadas House

Highlight • Mountain Hut

The "Cas das Queimadas" can be reached from Santana on a narrow, steep street. It is very idyllic at 900 m with a park of azaleas and rhododendrons.

The forest is considered a core zone of the UNESCO World Heritage Site because of its species-rich vegetation. No tunnels and no chasms, but wide and easily accessible. ;-)
Unfortunately, the typical thatched Santana cottages …

A lovely short hike through a beautiful forest park at an altitude of about 800 metres above sea level with breathtaking views of the surrounding countryside and great flora.

It is best to park at parking lot PR9 and walk the route in the opposite direction, as the parking lot for hike 9.1 is currently closed.

May 8, 2026,Levada do Caldeirao verde 9.1

The road became increasingly lonely, the jungle greener, I never would have thought there would be such a large parking lot with an LED display. A short version of the PR 9, this one was not closed, but still beautiful, albeit very muddy. We sometimes walked behind the railing.
