The city of Funchal is recognized as Garden City, result of the familiarity of the green spaces with the houses, with great floristic wealth, in a symbiosis between the countryside and the city. This landscaping and environmental harmony provides pleasantness to the experience of the cable car ride.

As you go up the environment will evolve and the urbane mesh will be substituted by verdant slopes, hills and valleys, in a journey with the city and the sea in background. The ride ends in Monte, town with a scenery and surrounding romantic, where it can be visited:

The base station is located in the garden of Almirante Reis, in the historic area of Funchal, with the top, in Monte, halfway between Largo das Babosas and Jardins do Monte. This location has a pedestrian correspondence with the top terminal of the Jardim Botânico Cable Car and is not far from the Monte station of the rack railway of the Comboio do Monte, extinct in 1943.
