Full description
Madeira offers untold beauty, friendly locals, and incredible "Levada" or irrigation channels that lead directly to the Atlantic Ocean. Today, you will explore these levadas with your guide. Starting from Queimadas Forestall Park, you will wander through lush vegetation and charming stone pathways deep into the forest. Along the way, you will pass by incredible views of Santana and São Jorge, and even have a chance to snap some pictures of the Verde lagoon and waterfall. Your 4.5-hour walk takes you through a diverse landscape of flora and fauna, and your guide will help you make sense of the varieties of life around here. Your trip will be well guided, and we even have torches and walking sticks to make your trek more pleasant. Once we reach the Caldeirão Verde waterfall, we will have a 30 minute picnic in this idyllic landscape before returning back to the starting point.

The tour is awesome! The view is breathtaking, as you can see on the pictures. There aren't any hard (steep, I mean) parts, but there are 3 or 4 tunnels where the ceiling is ~1 m high. And also you walk a lot on a narrow path, one side there's the levada, the other nothing, only the cliffside. If you have a massive scare of heights, you might want to reconsider. Also, it's 19 km-s. The weather can change quite quickly among the mountains, I'd advise you to put on many layers, and bring a waterproof jacket because sometimes you are walking under "mini waterfalls". You arrive at the waterfall, have lunch then take the same path back, be prepared. In our group there was a lady who was really scared, walked slowly. I honestly didn't mind because I could take photos without having to hustle to keep up with everyone. But the guide was not the nicest with her. Also we almost left behind a couple at a cafe where we stopped for a bathroom break. I can recommend this tour!

Our tour did not start well as there was some confusion with pick ups, which delayed the start for 30mins. The group leader stopped several times show the flora which was very interesting but moved the group along at a good pace even when we stopped for lunch he was ready to go before many of the group. This pace I believe contributed to the injury I suffered to my knee when I slipped. After we were helped across a stream on the way back the group leader then changed from leader to back marker and we were then able to go at our own pace ??? The walk was varied containing a number of tunnels, waterfalls and walkways that required concentration to negotiate. We were pleased we did it!!!
