Description
Enjoy an easy to moderate trail-running experience outside Funchal. You will ascend an elevation of 500 meters, passing through magical forests to the plateau. Returning back through one of the green "levadas" will also be the cherry on the cake.
After being collected from your accommodation in Funchal, you will venture out of town toward your tour starting point. Your trail-running experience begins on Curral Falso (850 meters), from where it heads softly up to the Fanal Forest (1,150 meters).
Once at the forest, you will find a green open area with some cows and plenty of huge ancient trees, which together really help this place look like one of those fairy tale magical places. On the way back you will venture down to the Levada dos Cedros, where you will follow it with some flat running from it's beginning till the road where you started your tour.
The track is a loop of 15 kilometers with about about 500 meters' difference of elevation. The terrain is made of dirt, is sometimes muddy, and contains some rocks and roots.
