Associação dos Carreiros do Monte

Carreiros do Monte offers Madeira's traditional wicker basket toboggan rides downhill through public streets from Monte toward Funchal. These iconic sledges are expertly steered along the roads by two drivers wearing traditional straw hats.

Viewers express overwhelming enthusiasm, calling the toboggan ride a fun, lovely, and unique experience that is well worth trying. Commenters also share practical advice, noting that the ride only lasts about 5 minutes and leaves passengers short of the bottom of the hill.
