Variety of Locations: From coastal cliffs to mountain peaks, Madeira offers diverse landscapes for capturing different astronomical phenomena.
Unique Flora: The island’s unique vegetation, such as the laurel forest, can create interesting foreground elements for both golden hour and night sky photos.
