The connecting path between Casa das Queimadas and Achada do Teixeira leads through the dense forest on the north side of Madeira's highest mountains. Occasionally, the view of the nature park's mountains is unobstructed. Steep and strenuous, only for experienced hikers.

Hiking

The nature trail in Madeira Natural Park leads you along narrow paths through lush greenery directly to an idyllic waterfall. There, the water cascades over mossy rocks into a small pool, creating a refreshing breeze. It's the perfect spot for a short break, a few photos, and a sip of water before continuing on the trail.

Hiking

Beware of rain. There the path becomes the river. Subsoil loamy.
