Arranging for car hire in Encumeada is the best way to explore the whole vicinity and enjoy its beautiful natural attractions.

Public transport is not that reliable around the island of Madeira so driving is still the best mode of transport to get around.

On a good day, a drive along the Encumeada road treats travellers to superb views of clouds and natural sceneries. Tourists may also want to make a stop in several points and spend a few hours or so embarking on a levada walk.
