An unforgettable walk through Madeira’s natural beauty! 🌿 The Rota do Açúcar along Levada Nova offers a wonderful mix of peaceful levada paths, lush scenery, and beautiful mountain views. The atmosphere is incredibly relaxing, and every turn brings something different to admire. A lovely experience for anyone who wants to discover a quieter and more authentic side of Madeira. Highly recommended!
Had a wonderful walk along the Nova Levada... Ali, our guide gave interesting talk in German and English telling of the plants, wildlife, farming and levada maintenance. Excellent views of Madeira and a flat walk amidst the mountains... some scary drops, but always fenced in and safe.
Nice, easy walk. Excellent guide and bus driver.
The guide Sergio was friendly, professional. It was a lovely walk and the beauty is amazing
Collection from hotel which was great. Small group and knowledgeable guide. Walk was the sugar route lavada nova 4hrs. Some slight high narroe bits with no rail but classed as easy route. Great views. Really enjoyed.
Great walk! Ana, our guide was extremely informative and knowledgeable. Thanks
This walk was a lovely way to discover another side of Madeira! The trail offered beautiful views of the surrounding mountains, green valleys, and traditional agricultural landscapes. I really enjoyed the peaceful atmosphere and the chance to experience the island's nature at a slower pace. Walking along the levada was a unique experience, and there were plenty of beautiful spots to stop for photos along the way.
