Overview
Embark on an unforgettable 7-day photography adventure on the enchanting Madeira Island, a paradise designed by nature for photographers. This tour, crafted with the keen eye of a seasoned photographer, promises to capture the island’s diverse beauty from sunrise to sunset. Our journey begins and ends in Santa Cruz, near the vibrant city of Funchal, but the magic lies in the destinations we explore in between.
We’ll delve into the mystical Fanal forest, visiting twice to maximize our chances of capturing its ethereal beauty. In Santana, the iconic traditional houses offer a picturesque glimpse into Madeira’s rich heritage. Our sunsets will be spectacular from Pico Ruivo, the island’s highest peak, where we’ll have two opportunities to frame the perfect shot. Seixal’s panoramic views and unique swimming pools, alongside the breathtaking seascapes of Porto Moniz, provide endless inspiration. As dawn breaks, we’ll be at Ribeira da Janela, ready to capture the first light over the dramatic coastline, and at Miradouro do Guindaste for another stunning sunrise. Finally, the rugged cliffs and sweeping views at Ponta São Lourenço will be the perfect grand finale to our photographic journey. Join us in discovering the hidden gems of Madeira, where every location tells a story through your lens.

Testimonials
Uncovering Colombia’s Magic with Tristan
I’ve been slowly reviewing all my shots from the Viva Colombia tour. It makes me relive all the incredible experiences Tristan put together for us! His love and enthusiasm for Colombia and its people was obvious. He had a good bond with all his drivers and guides, and he shines when he’s around children with his magic tricks. His people skills were excellent.
Tristan was responsive and went out of his way to make everyone happy. He took feedback to heart. I wanted to highlight how diligent he was. I have never been on a tour where the leader had prepared such a thorough talk with slides and examples of some of the creative concepts he was trying to teach.
I am so happy I managed to pull it together last minute to get onto this tour. It was SO worth it! There are a few Luminous Journey tours that I have an interest in so I’m not out of your hair yet.
Authentic and well organized expedition in an indigenous tribe
Tristan guided me through the mountains of Sierra Nevada and facilitated all the details for meeting a kogi tribe.
It was a work trip as I was working on a very specific topic ( panela) and Tristan took care of all the details and was very
understanding.
The whole experience felt very authentic, and overall Tristan is so passionate
about what he does it's hard not to have a blast during the trip.
A Compassionate Journey with Tristan
As the wife of a photographer, I’ve gone a half dozen photo tours. I try to make them my own and usually am successful in doing so. If I had to pinpoint anything that made the trip successful, it would be Tristan’s humanity shown so many times in the way he treated participants and native
Colombians. Visiting native tribes (not painted-face imposters) was a treat for me and my iPhone camera. Tristan planned well, explained things in detail and also found local experts who taught a great deal.
Thank you, Tristan, for this new experience by your side
Thank you, Tristan, for this new experience by your side. Cuba is truly a world of its own that is worth discovering. Thank you for all the wonderful encounters, for your patience, and for the valuable advice :-)
Traveling with you is always the best.
Hope to see you very soon.
Beautiful discovery of southern Colombia
Wonderful discovery of southern Colombia. Excellent organization, and Tristan is an outstanding guide who shares his love for the country.
