The Hell’s River Levada Walk (Portuguese: Levada do Inferno) is a peaceful nature escape that combines adventure with serenity. Despite its fiery name, this levada trail offers cool shade, birdsong, and the calming sound of flowing water. The hike follows a historic irrigation channel nestled deep in Madeira’s Laurissilva forest – a living relic of the island’s ancient ecosystems.

Your knowledgeable guide will take you through narrow paths surrounded by towering trees and lush ferns, explaining the unique biodiversity and local legends along the way. You’ll encounter small tunnels, moss-covered stone walls, and perhaps even spot some native birds like the Madeira firecrest or buzzards circling overhead.

The walk is about 6,2 km in total and suitable for most fitness levels. You'll be rewarded with dramatic views over valleys and cliffs, peaceful forest sounds, and the satisfaction of discovering a trail that many visitors to Madeira miss entirely.

This tour includes pickup and drop-off from Funchal and surrounding areas, so you can just relax and enjoy the walk.
