The view is breathtaking, really great viewspot. The waterfall was not really a fall but assume it is due to the season. There is a small parking lot, but not big. Recommend to park in the village and walk- about 1 Kilometer.

Don't miss to see these cliffs and this coastline. This is one of several stunning viewpoints along the west coast of Madeira, and - in my humble opinion - the best. Not just because of the views north and south, but also because of the nearby lighthouse and the restaurant (separate review) that make this a simple visit, but one that nestles itself in your heart and memory!

The Garganta Funda ( Deep Throat) waterfall is located in the parish of Ponta do Pargo, in Calheta. The walk is short and view is stunning. Worth visiting.

Its a nice view, but the waterfall was dried up when we visited which left a lot to be desired. Visited late may 2023, tuesday morning around 11am. The car parking area is small and tight to get out of once you're done. It's roughly a 5-10 minute walk from the car park to the viewpoint. Maybe a little more to return since its uphill.

This is a little bit out of the way on the east of the island. We went out of our way to go to it and I personally wouldn't go again. If you're passing, its a nice spot, but there's only space for about a few cars, it's quite difficult to find and quite a barren walk to the viewpoint. The viewpoint is quite far away from the waterfall itself and the waterfall was quite narrow when we saw it. Of course it's pretty, I just think by comparison to everything else we did on this beautiful island, it wouldn't be my first choice by a long shot.

Better to see in winter season. The waterfall was almost dry. It is 10 minutes far from the road. The pavement is dirty, muddy and loose.

This is a waterfall on a cliff inside a gorge. You can see it from above so it looks like it is in a hole. The surroundings are very beautiful, you can see from here the lighthouse too. And it is very quiet. We spent about an hour there and there were only 2 other people that came.

You can drive until almost there. There is like a small(2-3 cars) parking lot before the trail starts. The trail is a dirt road, almost flat, that takes about 4-5mins of walking. You have signs for it too. At the end there is a viewing platform there.

The walk is short and the scenery is stunning, lush green with wild flowers and you walk beside may fields being tended by local people. The waterfall itself is beautiful and just below the viewing platform you can climb down to a nice warm place to rest on the grass with the blue sky and sea all around you.

A short walk from the very small parking lot takes you to an amazing view point overlooking a waterfall flowing several hundred meters, and from the other side you can see the cliffs towering over the ocean.
Walk back is uphill and a bit challenging but certainly worth it
