    The stairs lead to nowhere, at the top there is a water house that supplies the Levada with water

    Hiking

    This section, with its steep steps and small waterfalls, is one of the most impressive passages in Madeira Natural Park. As the path descends over natural and partly man-made steps, the water trickles past moss-covered rocks, creating an almost mystical atmosphere. A varied, slightly technical section that perfectly showcases the wild beauty of the Laurissilva forest.
