Community route mapped on AllTrails — this is not part of Madeira's official PR trail network managed by IFCN (the regional government's forests & nature-conservation authority), so it has no official open/closed status and no maintenance/signage guarantee; check access and conditions locally before going.

This linear route starts and ends in Porto da Cruz, a parish in the municipality of Machico — its name comes from the times when the bay served as a port. It's a mixed route through urban areas and nature, aiming to reach the viewpoint of Porto da Cruz with stunning views over both the interior and coastal area of the island.

Porto da Cruz is also famous for its local wine — known as vinho americano seco (dry red wine made from a grape variety called americana), and this local product is a theme woven into the trail experience.
