The Levada do Norte is one of Madeira's sunniest levadas, meandering gently along the hillsides with sweeping views of villages, terraced fields, and the Atlantic Ocean. The well-maintained path leads you past eucalyptus trees, small gardens, and through short tunnels, always accompanied by the gentle murmur of the water. Thanks to its gentle gradient, this hike is ideal for leisurely walkers, but some exposed sections still require attention and sure footing.

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 🌿🌴🏵🌺🌸
