September 7, 2022,Ribeiro Frio / Portela

Very nice, partly steep hike. From Funchal with line 56 to Riberio Frio, back with line 53 from Portela to Funchal. Be careful, the taxi driver lures you with a ride to Funchal, down the stairs on the right behind the taxi rank the bus goes to Funchal 😆

April 7, 2025,2025-04-07 - 🇵🇹 Madeira - PR 10 - Levada do Furado ... , oder: Wegbreite 20 cm, ohne Absperrung zum Abhang & mit Gegenverkehr, ... war auch ganz interessant 🤗😎🌴🍻

This footpath, which follows one of the oldest public levadas on the island, is 11 km long and has an estimated walking time of 5 hours. The PR 10 Levada do Furado begins in Ribeira Grande, in the municipality of Santana, and allows you to contemplate the various shades of green of the laurel forest.

June 14, 2025,Wanderung PR10 - Ribeiro frio nach Portela

Today is our last hike on Madeira. We specifically chose a day when the tour operators weren't offering any tours there.
So we took a taxi to Ribeiro Frio and then continued along the levada to Patela.
It was wonderful; we only passed people three times. No one in front of us and no one behind us, just nature. 😊🙋🏻🙋🏼‍♂️

This tour would have been 11 km long and the return journey would have been by taxi, but after about 7.5 km the path ended because the slope had slipped. It was still nice

August 13, 2024,MDR 03 - Von Ribeiro Frio entlang der Levada do Furado nach Portela🥾

This levada path begins in the idyllic valley of Ribeiro Frio, which is initially rather unspectacular. But soon there is a beautiful view down into the valley and nice extras such as small waterfalls and seepage walls overgrown with ferns and moss. Many short tunnels and the beautiful mini levada at the end make the whole tour extraordinary👌. Since we …

September 26, 2025,Einstieg in die Levada do Furado an der Forellenzucht

The entry point is at the trout farm. An impressive levada right from the start. Sturdy footwear is a must here, as some of the paths are very slippery. The view is so magnificent that you don't know where to look.
The vegetation is lush, and in places I had to negotiate larger boulders. On some sections, you have to …

November 4, 2022,Spitzenwanderung von Ribero Frio nach Portela

One of the most beautiful tours of our vacation. Maybe a little crowded but worth it. Arrival from Funchal to Ribero Frio by bus 56. Return from Portela to Funchal by bus 53 or shared taxi (usually €5/person)
