Many people from Madeira went to Hawaii to work in sugar cane plantations in the past. The origin of ukele is from maderein people.

I’m Americans and lived in Madeira 30 years ago….and never saw another American tourist. Unfortunately, not that way anymore. There are now direct flights from New York. Portugal and Madeira were largely left alone in Europe but definitely have been discovered. Nice video. Thanks for encouraging no trace as some of the best spots are now littered with toilet paper.

Alot of the places she mentioned are not accessible via public transport. However you have several tourist companies that do east tour, west tour (both are full day tours) and the nuns valleys (half day tour) then you have taxis that you can pay them directly for a more personal tour of the island.
