Scary Skywalks in Madeira and the Grand Canyon in the USA

Madeira
Madeira has a Viewpoint near the capital, Funchal. The lookout is free, with a glass section underfoot. The open top buses stop there.

The name is Cabo Girao - Skywalk, at de Lobos, which Google Translate interpreted as meaning wolves, but Wikipedia suggests chamber of sealions.

Costa Rica
Another skywalk is in Monteverde, Costa Rica, Central America.  I'll have a guess at what the words mean. Monte verde is green mountain. The adjective comes after the noun, like frhe French Moulin Rouge, red mill. Costa Rica is rich coast.
