Great hiking trail along the Lavada River. Very popular and usually crowded. Allow plenty of time.

Hiking
The Levada das 25 Fontes is one of Madeira's most famous levada trails, leading through dense laurel forests, past ferns, streams, and moss-covered rocks. The narrow, atmospheric path is accompanied by the soothing sound of the water and ends at one of the island's most beautiful spots: the 25 springs. A diverse trail that vividly captures the magic of Madeira's natural beauty.
