Hiking

The levada tunnel leads you right through the mountain, while beside you the water flows quietly in the narrow channel. In the cool, damp darkness, your footsteps echo – a headlamp, caution, and the occasional duck are essential here. At the exit, you emerge back into the daylight and are often rewarded with fresh views of green slopes, valleys, and the surrounding mountains.
