This trail in particular, is without a doubt one of the most beautiful in Madeira. You can enjoy the natural heritage, since the path is full of endemic species.

Highlights

  • Laurissilva forest
  • Levada walk
  • Endemic Fauna and Flora

Description

This is perhaps the most well known levada in Madeira. As we walk along this footpath you will marvel at the display of light and shade filtering through the laurel and heather trees. In this quiet walk the hiker goes side by side with the levada that flows slowly along the path. The trout swimming in the levada, dash for cover as they perceive our approach. As we near Lamaceiros, the views of Porto da Cruz and Eagle Rock far below are out of this world. Sometimes arises a chaffinch that waits for generosity of those who are passing by to share some bread.
