What you can expect

Your adventure begins with a pickup from your accommodation. As we drive towards the Rabaçal area in Calheta, we might pause at a quaint local spot for a brief refreshment break, though this stop is not guaranteed. Upon arrival at Rabaçal, we start our hike with a scenic walk through lush nature surroundings. Our journey includes a 700-meter detour to the stunning Risco Waterfall. After taking in the majestic sights, we continue to the famous 25 Fountains Lagoon, where we'll stop for a 30-minute break. This 11km walk, with an elevation gain of around 75 metres, is of moderate difficulty and typically takes around 4 hours and 30 minutes 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.

We’ll walk back along the same path, ending our hike by passing through a natural tunnel, a highlight of the trip. 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.
