Cape Girão — Attraction in Câmara de Lobos

On clear days it is a very nice spot to come to and spend maybe 15 minutes. Parking is a nightmare on most days - prepare to search and...

It is really awesome standing on this glass platform! 😀

The Cabo Girão cliff is one of the highest in the world and falls almost vertically 500 m deep into the Atlantic Ocean.

A skywalk with a glass floor awaits you on the steep cliff, which protrudes over the edge of the rocks and offers you a breathtaking view 580 m into the depths. Enjoy the view of the sea and the illusion of floating in air.

The cliff of Cabo Girão is worth a detour not only because of this pedestrian bridge, but also because of a first-class viewpoint (Miradouro Cabo Girão), which offers an overwhelming view over the entire southeastern...
