Hiking
The Levada do Rei (PR18) hiking trail on Madeira leads through one of the most beautiful sections of the island's laurel forest. The route runs alongside the irrigation channel (levada) on mostly level terrain and offers a peaceful, nature-filled hike with moss-covered walls, small waterfalls, and lush greenery. It's a particularly atmospheric path for anyone who wants to immerse themselves in subtropical nature in a relaxed way.

Hiking
A very beautiful and relatively easy levada hike. The paths are in good condition and you hike right to the start of the levada.

Hiking
Very muddy in wet weather and only manageable with rubber boots or barefoot for a length of approx. 12 m. Furthermore, despite low utilization, relatively busy according to the portal. Payment is checked periodically.
