Then a short trip to the amazing Moinhos Levada where you´ll be dropped off at the start of this walk . This levada 3-4 hour walk will take you on a journey into the verdant heart of Madeira weaving through the island's lush landscapes, past cascading waterfalls, and alongside the age-old water channels, or 'levadas', that have nourished this paradise for centuries. Following the levada trail as it winds its way through the terrain , you´ll encounter old stone bridges , vibrant floral bounty , waterfalls that plunge down sheer rock faces, their icy water gathered from the high peaks and channeled into the levada. These are the Moinhos - the 'mills' - the beating heart of Madeira's water system. The Moinhos Levada walk is not just about the destination; it's about the journey. It's about the sense of tranquility that descends as you lose yourself in the rhythm of your steps and the melody of nature. It's about the thrill of rounding a corner and being greeted by a vista of rolling mountains, their tops wreathed in mist. It's about the simple joy of being alive in such a beautiful place. When you´ve completed the trail , there you´ll be greeted by our driver ready to take you to the next destination . The small village of Ponta do Sol , where you´ll have time to relax by the sea , have lunch or even explore the nearby scenery . Finally you´ll be taken back to your hotel or any other location along the way .
