12. Morenos. Spectacular sand valleys and sea views
€30.00
Pick up and drop off at your accomodation or the ferry.
Facing Madeira behind the last hills of Porto Santo is an area seldom explored by visitors and locals alike. Formed from a prehistoric seabed which was upthrusted by past volcanic activity, Morenos is subject to high levels of water erosion which has led to the formation of amazing dry valleys and sculptures of sand.
The path winds from close to shore and around the heads of the valleys but always offers up surprises and has yet to have been spoilt.
You certainly need water on this walk - it tends to be hot and there is little shade from the sun.
