    Tips

    January 6, 2024

    The Levada Caldeirão Verde is an impressive work of art created in the 18th century. It begins in the main river bed of the Caldeirão Verde and crosses rugged slopes and mountains to transport the water that runs from the highest peaks of the island of Madeira to the valley. There it is used to irrigate the agricultural fields of the municipality of Faial. There are waterfalls, tunnels and subtropical nature. It's best to go when it's sneezing because you can have peace and quiet and it's wet and humid anyway.

      The route is approximately 13 kilometers long (round trip) and has only slight elevation changes, making it suitable for less experienced hikers. Along the way, you'll pass through several tunnels carved into the rock—a flashlight is recommended.

      The highlight of the hike is the Caldeirão Verde, an impressive waterfall that plunges from a height of about 100 meters into a natural pool.
