描述
Explore the pristine Laurissilva forest on this guided levada walk. Marvel at lush flora, traverse scenic tunnels, and admire a stunning 100-meter-tall waterfall.
Your adventure begins with a pickup from your accommodation. As we drive towards the Queimadas area, we might pause at a quaint local spot for a brief refreshment break, though this stop is not guaranteed. Upon arrival at Queimadas Forest Park, our hike begins in a fairy-tale setting next to a charming thatched-roof house.
The trail, nestled in the lush Laurissilva Forest (a UNESCO World Heritage site), offers stunning views and is home to diverse plant species and birds like the Chaffinch, Firecrest, Grey Wagtail, Buzzard, and occasionally, the Long-toed Wood Pigeon. The vibrant green landscape along the levada is captivating.
Our journey includes walking along the levada, with the highlight being the breathtaking Caldeirão Verde waterfall, where we'll stop for a 30-minute break to soak in the scenery. This 13km walk, with an elevation gain of around 75 meters, is of moderate difficulty and typically takes around 4:30 hours to complete. As we traverse through this dense forest, keep an eye out for the unique flora and fauna that thrive in this pristine environment. Our knowledgeable guide will share insights about the local ecosystem and the history of the levadas, the traditional irrigation channels of Madeira.
The path includes four natural tunnels before reaching Caldeirão Verde, where a majestic waterfall cascades into an emerald lagoon, creating a stunning natural spectacle. After experiencing the awe-inspiring beauty of Caldeirão Verde, you'll return to Queimadas Forest Park. If time permits, we may stop at another local bar before returning you to your accommodation.
This tour offers a comprehensive experience of Madeira's natural beauty, perfect for nature lovers and adventure enthusiasts alike.
