    The Levada da Norte is well attended up to the tunnel, but afterwards it is almost lonely.

      Nature is really overwhelming! Since it was still raining at the beginning, the path was a bit slippery and would have been better with sturdy, waterproof shoes. Many exotic plants lined our way, I felt like I was in a rainforest.
      The levadas on Madeira are man-made drainage ditches; the first emerged more than 500 years ago. The decision as to whether these levadas will be declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site is still pending.
      It is not without reason that Madeira is also called the flower island 🌿🌴🏵🌺🌸

        Be sure to pack sturdy shoes and rain gear, just in case! The paths can quickly become smooth and slippery. In some places it goes deep, nothing for altitude sickness... Otherwise a must on Madeira 😍
