This multi cache will take you to walk along cliffs that reach from 250m to 500m altitude. The trail will present you with beautiful landscapes and interesting geological phenomena.











The success of this activity was based on building a network of lookouts who were placed high in coastal areas, allowing a full coverage of the coast of Madeira, as well as a partial coverage of the seas of Desertas and Porto Santo. Thus the island of Madeira had eight lookouts, one of them in Pico da Cruz (In the RG3 military complex in São Martinho) and one in Ponta do Garajau (Below the statue of Christ in Caniço). This network was completed with two lookouts in Deserta Grande one in Bugio and two in Porto Santo. These buildings gave shelter to the men who scanned the sea in search of "espartos" (term imported from the Azores, to designate the characteristic breath of large cetaceans).
Ribeira do Seixal é o nome do pequeno curso de água que atravessa o Chão da Ribeira e onde começa e termina a nossa aventura. O Chão da Ribeira é um fantástico local da freguesia do Seixal. Situado entre 400 e os 500 metros, é uma zona com poucos habitantes, coberta por denso arvoredo e casas de pedra. A paisagem deste local é fortemente marcada pela actividade agrícola. Aqui predominam a cultura da batata, batata-doce, feijão, couve e milho. Ao descer o Chão da Ribeira é possível desfrutar de uma bela vista sobre a cascata da foz da Ribeira de João Delgado.
