PSP police and local firefighters spent most of Tuesday searching for the tourist, who disappeared while walking Funchal’s famous Levada aqueducts with her husband.
The search was suspended shortly after 6pm Tuesday evening, with a PSP source saying seeing as the walk was an urban route, expectations were that the woman would turn up or head back to the hotel.
She was eventually located by PSP police officers and found to be in good health.
A spokesperson for the force confirmed on Wednesday morning that the woman was found and had become lost while on the Levada dos Piornais walk, which is highly popular among visitors to the region.
