One of the highlights of hiking on Madeira Island, a true “immersion in nature” featuring breathtaking valleys, fascinating waterfalls, and exotic vegetation such as eucalyptus, mimosa, laurel, and century-old heather. The trail begins at an elevation of 1,300 meters next to the artificial reservoir that supplies water to the Calheta area and neighboring municipalities. In addition to exploring the hidden corners of this valley, the levadas lead to two stunning sites: the Risco Waterfall and the 25 Fontes Waterfall. The return route takes you through a tunnel that leads to the south coast.

We recommend to wear comfortable and practical walking shoes and a bottle of water, as well as a waterproof jacket as the weather can change quickly. For full-day walks, bring a picnic and snacks for lunch.
