Your Local Guide
After completing my master´s degree at the University of Évora, I return to my hometown to work in a local company as a geological engineer. Returning to the place where I was born with the knowledge that I acquired, awakened a new scientific perspective of what the Island is and what has to offer. Since then, I have spent my free time trying to satisfy my natural curiosity to unclose the scientific base of popular knowledge, shared through generations since the settlement. The same knowledge that allowed my grandparents to live a sustainable life. Additionally, Madeira is evolving into a mass tourism island which, in my opinion, is not the way. The guided tours are my contribution to the preservation of the real essence of the Madeira people. Join me to find it!
