Today, the levadas are used primarily for transporting the water, especially touristy. Trails are signposted in many places on the paths that run alongside the water.

Hiking

This levada tunnel is not too high, but built reasonably wide enough. So you should be careful not to bump your head. Flashlight is recommended, in my opinion, the cell phone flashlight is not enough.

Hiking

The tunnel is approx. 300m long, a headlamp is recommended. In Cruz de Caldeira there is a bakery with delicious cakes and a bus stop.
