Description

Embark on an unforgettable adventure along the stunning Levada do Rei, one of Madeira's most beautiful trails. Enjoy convenient pickup from designated areas in Funchal, Caniço, or Garajau, in the morning. Be transported to São Jorge, the starting point of the PR18 hike, by a local driver with in-depth knowledge of the area. They will ensure you have all the information you need for a safe and enjoyable self-guided hike. After completing the trail, enjoy a comfortable return to your original pickup location. This service is perfect for nature lovers and those looking to explore Madeira's breathtaking landscapes with complete peace of mind. The walk takes about 3:30 hours and is considered of moderate difficulty. The starting point of Levada do Rei is located at the Water Treatment Plant of Quebradas, in São Jorge. First you will cross an exotic forest area where it is possible to observe the typical agricultural landscapes of São Jorge and Santana. Along the way, you will also be able to contemplate the tunnels formed by the diverse vegetation in this area. The green landscape that embellishes Levada do Rei is made possible by the great abundance of water here. However, the most special moment of the walk is saved for the arrival at Ribeiro Bonito, an isolated natural sanctuary covered by the dense vegetation characteristic of the Laurissilva forest. Important Notice: The Regional Government of Madeira has implemented a 3€ per person tourism tax, which must be paid through the Simplifica portal. To ensure seamless access to the Levada, we recommend completing this payment in advance. Should you need assistance with this process, we would be delighted to provide all the necessary information.
