Funchal Cable Car Over João Gomes Valley

This perspective from the Funchal Cable Car (Teleférico do Funchal) captures a gondola suspended over the steep, verdant ravine of the João Gomes stream. The dense canopy below consists largely of introduced Tasmanian Blue Gum (Eucalyptus globulus), distinguishing these lower slopes from the native Laurisilva found at higher altitudes. The view extends toward the Atlantic Ocean, highlighting the dramatic vertical topography of Madeira's southern coast.
