While following the levada through the mountains you will occasionally see an abandoned shed, but that’s about it. Madeira really has many faces though, and this walk is a nice surprise. Following the Levada do Castelejo you will pass through gardens and agricultural fields and end up in a wilderness. [/vc_column_text][vc_column_text] [/vc_column_text][vc_column_text] This...

Ponta de São Lourenço is totally different from the levada walks through green forests. On this walk you'll pass jagged cliffs in a desert like landscape. Madeira is a volcanic island, and on this peninsula you will see volcanic rock formations in many colours. Orange, purple, red: a beautiful contrast with the vivid...

A green cauldron is exactly what you’ll find at the end of this marvellous walk: the waterfall crashes down along intense green rocks. At this waterfall you can enjoy a picknick, sitting between enormous ferns and hydrangeas, before embarking on the way back to the start of this walk at Queimadas.

In the direct area of this charming little village you’ll find some very nice and more unknown trails.
