Ride a Vespa scooter from Funchal into the dramatic mountain scenery that surrounds Curral das Freiras on this half‑day guided Nuns Valley tour.
After meeting at the Vespa Madeira head office, you check in, gear up and receive a clear safety briefing before setting off with your guide on 125cc Vespas.
Vespa Guided Nuns Valley Tour from Funchal
The journey begins with a scenic climb to Pico dos Barcelos or a similar city viewpoint, where you pause to look back over Funchal Bay and its terraced hillsides. From there, the route winds higher into the interior, following narrow mountain roads towards Eira do Serrado, a viewpoint that opens suddenly over Nuns Valley, revealing the village far below and the peaks that shelter it.
After enjoying the views and taking photos, the tour descends into Curral das Freiras itself, giving you free time to walk through the village, visit a café or bakery, and try local chestnut specialities if you wish. Once everyone is ready, you ride back towards Funchal at a relaxed pace, following your guide along quiet roads and finishing the loop at the head office.
Across these four hours you experience tight curves, cool mountain air and changing landscapes without long transfers or rush. Vespa Scooter Guided Nuns Valley Tour is perfect for travellers who want the thrill of riding into the heart of Madeira’s mountains, but still keep the day light enough to combine with other activities.
