Vous traverserez la ville animée de Funchal et les magnifiques collines ondulantes de Madère en direction de la Quinta Pedagogica da Camacha, une petite ferme engagée dans l'agriculture durable. Ici, votre guide formé au National Geographic vous informera sur la région et vous présentera le propriétaire de la ferme, Bruno Santos. Ayant quitté la comptabilité pour se lancer dans l'agriculture, Bruno consacre désormais sa vie à aider son voisinage par le biais de l'agriculture durable, d'une empreinte environnementale réduite et de la sensibilisation de la communauté.
Vous suivrez Bruno à travers les bosquets fleuris pour explorer le domaine. Vous découvrirez les différentes utilisations de leurs herbes fraîchement cultivées et visiterez leur plantation de fraises. Tout en découvrant les produits de la ferme et l'élevage des animaux, vous verrez les champs et les "poios", des terrains où les produits de la terre sont cultivés en terrasses. La ferme abrite divers animaux, dont des poulets, des chèvres, des moutons et autres animaux. Bruno a même créé un petit marché pour aider d'autres vendeurs locaux à atteindre leur communauté, en s'inspirant du slogan "achetez local".
Vous ferez aussi l'expérience de plusieurs activités saisonnières, proposées exclusivement aux visiteurs du National Geographic. Vous récolterez des fruits mûrs et participerez à un atelier de plantation au cours duquel vous apprendrez les bonnes techniques pour semer les graines. Cet environnement d'apprentissage pratique donne vie à la philosophie de Bruno en matière de durabilité et de respect de l'environnement. Pour terminer, vous vous détendrez en savourant un thé rafraîchissant, préparé à partir des herbes de la ferme et accompagné de gâteaux, de toasts et de confitures faites maison à base de fruits locaux.
