Hiking

... the plants grow like a jungle here in the first section on both sides of the levada

Hiking

If you leave after 3pm, you'll have the beautiful jungle tour almost to yourself. Before that, there's a crowded trail.

Hiking

The Levada do Rei hiking trail in Madeira Natural Park winds through a lush Atlantic laurel forest (Laurisilva) – a protected ecosystem characterized by moss-covered tree trunks, ferns, palms, exotic flowers, and ancient trees. Along the canal path, water flows gently through granite boulders and narrow levada channels, accompanied by vibrant greenery that appears particularly vivid in the hazy air. Those seeking tranquility and wishing to experience Madeira's diverse flora will find an unparalleled natural experience here.
