Walk along the Levada and find ourselves in a green and pleasant landscapes The beautiful Caldeirão Verde, an impotent cascade whose water falls in a beautiful lagoon emerald green color.
Caldeirão Verde Levada Walk begins at the Queimadas Forest Park at 980 meters above sea level, in the municipality of Santana, next to a shelter house with thatched roof, seems taken from a fairy tale. It’s inserted in full Laurissilva Forest, where we can enjoy a wide variety of plant species, to highlight the Stinklaurel (Ocotea foetens), the Laurel(Laurus novocanariensis), the Lily-of-the-Valley Tree (Clethra arborea), Common European Elder (Sambucus lanceolata), between others. The most visible bird species are the Chaffinch, the Firecrest, the Grey Wagtail, the Buzzard and with luck the Long-toed Wood Pigeon. As we walk along the Levada we find ourselves in a green and pleasant landscape, after passing by 4 natural tunnels, existing along the way, we find the beautiful Caldeirão Verde, an impotent cascade whose water falls in a beautiful lagoon emerald green color. After appreciating its natural landscape, we go round the same track back to Queimadas Forest Park.

A great walk, it's a bit longer than advertised but mostly flat, well worth it for the views and the experience. Correct footwear is an absolute must, even on a dry day it was quite wet in places and slips and trips possible. One member of our group had an unfortunate accident and injured his arm as a result of a slip by the Levada, but the team handled it excellently in my opinion.
Prepare for an unforgettable hike by bringing comfortable shoes suitable for rugged terrain. Protect yourself from the sun with a good sun protector, and pack a windbreaker to stay warm against the high-altitude breezes. Don’t miss the chance to capture the breathtaking scenery and memorable moments, so make sure to bring your camera for amazing photos.
