Madeira Island, an autonomous region of Portugal, is located in the Atlantic Ocean, about 900 km southwest of Lisbon and 600 km from the African coast. Discovered in 1419 by Portuguese navigators João Gonçalves Zarco and Tristão Vaz Teixeira, Madeira quickly became a strategic point in the Age of Discovery. With a rugged volcanic terrain, the island has a subtropical climate that provides mild temperatures all year round and a rich biodiversity, especially the Laurissilva forest, classified as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
