Collection from right outside the hotel. Transfer was short - only about 20 - 25 minutes Adriano the guide was really personable and knowledgeable about the area and the island. It was our 1st Lavada Walk and so we picked probably the least challenging. It was quite short. Next time we'll do some research in advance and go for something a bit more challenging.

Nat Geo Day Tour: Erlebnis auf einem Bauernhof in der Terrassenlandschaft von Madeira

Fahren Sie durch Funchals geschäftige Stadt und Madeiras herrliche Hügellandschaft zur Quinta Pedagogica da Camacha, einer kleinen Farm, die sich der nachhaltigen Landwirtschaft verschrieben hat. Hier wird Ihnen Ihr von National Geographic ausgebildeter Tourguide Einblicke in die Region geben und Ihnen den Besitzer der Farm, Bruno Santos, vorstellen. Nachdem er die Buchhaltung für die Landwirtschaft aufgegeben hat, widmet Bruno Santos sein Leben nun der Unterstützung seiner Nachbarschaft durch nachhaltige Landwirtschaft, einen verringerten Umweltverbrauch und gemeinnützige Arbeit.Folgen Sie Bruno durch blühende Haine, während Sie das Gelände erkunden. Sie erfahren mehr über die vielfältigen Verwendungsmöglichkeiten der frisch angebauten Kräuter und besuchen die Erdbeerplantage. Beobachten Sie die Felder und Poios - so nennen die Madeirenser die terrassenförmig angelegten Flächen, auf denen sie ihre Feldfrüchte anbauen - und erfahren Sie mehr über die Produkte des Hofes und die Tierhaltung. Die Farm beherbergt verschiedene Tiere wie Hühner, Ziegen, Schafe und mehr. Es gibt sogar einen kleinen Markt, den Bruno ins Leben gerufen hat, um anderen lokalen Anbietern zu helfen, ihre größere Gemeinschaft zu erreichen, ganz nach dem Motto "Regional einkaufen".Sie werden auch eine Reihe von saisonalen Aktivitäten erleben, die exklusiv für National Geographic-Reisende angeboten werden. Ernten Sie reife Früchte und lernen Sie in einem Pflanzworkshop die richtigen Techniken für die Aussaat. In dieser praxisorientierten Atmosphäre wird Brunos Philosophie der Nachhaltigkeit und Biofreundlichkeit zum Leben erweckt. Anschließend können Sie sich entspannen und einen erfrischenden Tee aus den Kräutern des Hofes sowie hausgemachte Kuchen, Röstbrot und Marmelade aus lokalen Früchten genießen.
