Caminho de São Cristóvão

The Caminho de São Cristóvão from the restaurant at the São Cristóvão viewpoint down to Restaurante O Arco covers about 3 to 4 km and includes an elevation change of roughly 300 meters downhill, making the return trip uphill if you go back the same way. This moderate elevation gain means the hike is manageable but does require some effort on the way back, rewarding walkers with stunning views of Madeira’s north coast and peaceful rural landscapes.
