A green cauldron is exactly what you’ll find at the end of this marvellous walk: the waterfall crashes down along intense green rocks.

The most famous walk starting in Rabacal is of course the walk to 25 Fontes (25 waterfalls), but you’ll find lots of other walks worth exploring here. This walk following Levada do Alecrim is much more quiet than 25 Fontes and offers some spectacular views on the Paúl da Serra...
