    This waterfall is located at the end of the Levada Alecrim at Km3. Here you can take a break and watch the water play.

      On our tour, we probably went a bit too far to the left here, past the waterfall, up to the levada. Then you crawl up the slope along a perfectly good path, amidst thorns and branches. It's also very exciting, as the "right" path was visible after just a few meters at the top of the levada.
      So, 👀 be careful when choosing your path. 😉

        With a little luck, you might see the endemic but extremely curious Madeira chaffinch and capture it in your lens.
