Madeira Lakes - Levada do Alecrim
Overview
This wonderful walk begins about 200 meters above Rabaçal´s shelter.
Along the path, the Erica arborea and the whortleberry species are predominant. However, as it is a transitional area between the heath and the Laurel Forest, classified as Natural World Heritage by UNESCO since December 1999, you may find other species such as the laurel, the holly, the lily-of-the-valley tree, the pau-branco and the Heberdenia.
The Lagoa do Vento is a river basin formed by the water which fall from the top of the cliff, coming from the Ribeira do Lajeado and moving towards the waterfall (or cascade) of Risco.
Enjoy this magical and inspiring place, where the silence is only interrupted by the sound of the water, to recharge your energy to return.
