Banana Plantations of Funchal

Highlight • Structure

Watch out. When turning into the valley, the path seems to have disappeared: there is a house under construction. But you can go right past the house over a very small path and overgrown levada

Entrance to Levada dos Piornais

Highlight • Trail

I recommend joining the levada from here and walking towards Camara de Lobos. There, sample Madeira wine at Henriques and Henriques and admire the Madeira wine barrels on display and stored there.
