Toboggan run in Funchal… well, when in Madeira!
It’s one of those things you just have to experience. The Monte toboggan run dates back to the early 1800s, when locals used wicker sledges as a fast way to travel down from the hills into Funchal. Today, it’s steered by skilled “carreiros” in traditional dress, guiding you through the streets, no engines, just pure technique (and a bit of bravery 😅).
What a fun experience! Equal parts thrilling and slightly chaotic, but 100% worth it!
