Teleférico da Fajã dos Padres, Cable car transport system in Quinta Grande, Portugal.
The Teleférico da Fajã dos Padres descends 300 meters along the southern coast of Madeira, offering views of the Atlantic Ocean and agricultural terraces.
The cable car system was constructed to provide access to the fertile lands of Fajã dos Padres, where Jesuit priests cultivated Malvasia grapes during the 16th century.
The cable car connects visitors to traditional agricultural practices, including the cultivation of local fruits and vegetables on the coastal platform below.
Operating daily from 10:00 AM to 7:00 PM in summer and 10:00 AM to 6:00 PM in winter, the cable car charges 12 euros for round trips.
The transport system enables access to a secluded beach and agricultural area that sits at the base of a 250-meter cliff face.
