This is a sui geniris transport of Madeira. Named "carro de cestos" in portuguese, this wickerwork sledge is an experience of descent from the top of the hill not to be missed. The route starts at the Monte, at the top of the city, and ends not far from the center of Funchal. Are characterized by being moved by the feet of two men called "carreiros" (someting like people of the cars, or in specif case, the sledge). It's pure adrenaline, believe.
It's the ideal complement to travel upward in the cable car from the old town of the capital.
