Levada
Walks |
| -- |
|
Prazeres - Ponta do Pargo |
We start this leisure walk at Prazeres and, after
about 4 hours of walking, we will arrive at the extreme southwestern point
of Madeira, the lighthouse of Ponta do Pargo which is located at 310 m
above sea level and thus the highest of its kind in Portugal. The drive
to the levada is already filled with spectacular sun-drenched pictures of
the charming southwest. Above the coast and far below the enormous plateau
Paúl da Serra, the levada winds through an idyllic a rea which is partly
rustic and mainly agriculturally used. |
 |
|
The views along the coast of the southwest and to
the northwest end this walk in a, once more, diff e rent landscape of this
beautiful island. Another version of this walk starts in Cabo, following
later the same levada. |

Walking time: 4 hours |
Price: € 30,00 |

Levada Rabaçal |
We go towards the west coast of the
island up to the Paúl da Serra (±1200 m) to Rabaçal. Rabaçal is an
enchanting fairyland of singing waterfalls. Here at the head of Madeira`s
largest valley, the Rabaçal house lies dwarfed beneath emerald mountains.
Three levadas draw their water here; each has its own personality and this
walk introduces you to all
three of them.

Walking time: 3.5 hours |

Boa Ventura |
On
this walk, you may discover one of the most original regions of Madeira –
here, time seems to
have come to a hold: the valley of Boa Ventura. On our route, we find old
paths that were laid out in
troublesome hand labour, as well as the Levada de Cima which has, to a
great deal, a natural course and which we follow till its romantic spring.
A walk of contrasts: mountains, valleys and the sea.

Queimadas
|
|
 |
The enchanting emerald
green and mossy paradise of the tropical rain forest on Madeira!
First we take the path beside the old Levada do Calderão Verde
which then will take us to one of the most remote areas of the
island with spectacular views. A huge
waterfall forms the caldron. There we will have our picnic. |

LEVADA WALK TO SANTO DA SERRA |
|
|
|
This rather easy walk takes place in the
higher part of the district of Santa Cruz. There, the valleys are still
fitted out with agricultural t e rraces on which, even nowadays, some
locals still grow their vegetables and
fruit. During the walk, secluded villages take turns with deep, green
valleys offering beautiful views down to the southeast coast with Santa
Cruz and Ponta São Lourenço. Each season has its own bloom and vegetation.
Even some small parts of the native laure l forest (Laurissilva) could be
preserved. The day will be concluded by visiting the weekly Sunday market
in Santo da Serra . |

Pico
Arieiro
The mountainwalk goes from the third highest peak (Pico Arieiro 1818m) to
the highest peak of the island (Pico Ruivo 1862m). From here we go down the
north side to Achada do Teixeira. This is the most famous- and without any
doubt - one of the nicest mountain walks of Madeira.
|
|
The path was made in the late sixties and the parts where
there could be vertigo problems are well protected
with fences. From the top of the Pico Ruivo you will have spectacular
panoramic views over almost the whole island.
A must for the real
walkers! |

Northcoast walk
|
 |
We start our walk in the area of
Machico and follow the levada through lush farmland and the
forest of Pine and Mimosa. Here we leave the levada and walk up to Boca do
Risco which
opens the sudden view to the ocean. People say that no other rugged, proud
beauty. We follow
the coastal path to finish our walk in Larano, above Porto da Cruz.

|
Walking time: 4 hours |
Price: € 35,00 |
|
Porto Moniz |
| This spectacular coast
walk takes place in the extreme west of the island. On a step-like
path, we descend to Quebrada Nova. Our walk intrigues for its unique
views over the turquoise sea, surg i n g with its waves to the sun-lit
cliffs. After a round over the terraces at the seaside, we ascend to
the village of Santa. |

Lakes of
Madeira
Come along with us on a variegated, unforgettable walk which is known by
only a few naturefriends. We start off on the high plateau Paúl da Serra and
follow the Levada da
Ribeira Grande. Soon we descend to the Lagoa do Vento from where we have a
breath-taking view into the valley of Rabaçal. There we can have a peaceful
picnic or go for a
refreshing swim in a cristal-clear lake. Further along, you will see
beautiful water cascades followed by one of Madeira´s original levadas
which is surrounded by bizarr vegetation. The last part of the walk takes
us along the high-plateau itself where we will find peace and
quiet, wonderful views around and, at the end, onto the villages of the
southwest. |
