Levada dos Tornos

Highlight • Trail

The Levada dos Tornos is easy to walk, unfortunately not as contemplative as the levadas in the mountains, but rather a real canal.

Since every vacation unfortunately ends at some point and I haven't even used the hotel pool yet, I went to Monte by bus 🚌 and then back to the botanical garden.

Always along the Levada dos Tornes. Dreamlike views, great trail.... always the Levada on the left. Last steep section on the road (oops, mega steep downhill and then the …

With the gondola from Funchal to the top, there the tropical garden is worthwhile first.
From there start of the tour.
The first third of the tour includes a lot of uphill walking with beautiful views, from Curral dos Romeiros you then go comfortably along the Levada.
Last third after leaving the levada, extreme descent on paved road.
At the …

March 14, 2023,Wandern - Madeira - vom Monte zum Jardim Botanico

Nice little hiking tour to start on Madeira.
Nice along the Levanda dos Tornes and steep down to the Batanic Gardens which is a must visit.
Taking the bus up to Monte is much nicer (and cheaper!)
Make a stop at the "Alta Vista" restaurant on the way down! Delicious passion fruit sangria!

Actually we wanted to follow the levada to the Hortensia Gardens Tea House. But since this is probably closed and the alternative (Jasmine Tea House) is on vacation, we have shortened the tour.

March 1, 2025,2025-01-03: Von Monte zum Botanischen Garten Funchal über die Levada Romeis und Tornos🚶🌳☁️🌧️🌥️🇵🇹

Easy Levada hike from Monte. This path offers almost everything a "Levada path" can offer. Wilderness, narrow paths, views,... A nice introductory tour to get an impression of what it can look like......
It is not recommended to walk back to Funchal. The path is very steep all the time, the route by bus👍😉 is more pleasant, you have to …
