Overview

The levada walk will allow hikers to enjoy the evergreen and luxuriant Rabacal valley situated within the natural park of Madeira, in the North West of the island and discover the concealed treasures of the indigenous Laurisilva forest with its abundance of mosses, lichens and ferns. As you stroll along the levada to Risco and the 25 fountains, the cascading waterfalls will seem to be singing fountains and the tiny translucent lakes will enchant you.
