The Levada da Achada Grande is fed by the Riberia dos Moinhos, which works its way through a rocky bed to Boaventura. From the Madre, the levada first heads north, then through a tunnel and past Tanque and Achada Grande to Falca de Cima.
Only a few slightly exposed areas, therefore low to medium risk of dizziness.

Hiking

A very pleasant levada to walk once you have climbed up to it. The ascent (and later descent) is a bit strenuous and the path is very steep and not easy.
