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.

Lagoa do Vento is an idyllic mountain lake nestled at the foot of a high cliff face and fed by a long, delicate waterfall. Surrounded by rocks, ferns, and dense laurel forest, the place exudes an almost magical tranquility. A beautiful destination in the Rabaçal area, it impressively showcases the wild and unspoiled side of Madeira.

The Viento Lagoon is a small, sheltered body of water nestled in the vast landscape of Madeira.

An atmospheric stop, perfect for pausing briefly and enjoying the natural ambiance of the plateau.

The waterfall on the Levada do Rei is a magical highlight of the hike: surrounded by dense laurel forest, the water plunges over moss-covered rocks right next to the narrow path. The gentle spray, the splashing sound, and the interplay of light and shadow lend this place a special atmosphere – a moment of peace and connection with nature in the heart of the UNESCO-protected Madeira Natural Park.

The Levada do Caldeirão Verde (PR9) is one of the most spectacular levada walks in Madeira. It leads along a historic irrigation canal through the lush laurel forest, a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

The Cascade of 25 Fontes (Portuguese: Cascata das 25 Fontes) is the impressive highlight of the levada hike of the same name in the Rabaçal region. Numerous small streams bubble from the moss-covered rock face into a clear, shimmering green lagoon. The streams are particularly visible after rainfall, often more than 25. The cascade is located at the end of hiking route PR6 (Levada das 25 Fontes). The waterfall is not very high, but the numerous cascading streams create the effect of a natural curtain of water. The scenery is surrounded by dense laurel forest (Laurisilva) – a UNESCO World Heritage Site with endemic flora and fauna.

Lagoa do Vento is a picturesque mountain lake located at the end of the PR 6.3 – Vereda da Lagoa do Vento hiking trail.
