Risk Taking

Highlight • Forest

The transition zone to the laurel forest, which can be found from about 300 meters above sea level, has more trees than the immediate coastal zone. Among other things, wax myrtle, the first representative of the Barbusanos (Apollonias barbujana) and the Canary Willow (Salix canariensis) can be found here.

25 Fontes (25 Springs) Waterfall

Highlight • Waterfall

A beautiful natural spectacle that you don't see often. The 25 Fontes are certainly worth a visit. However, you share the joy with many other hikers.

Levada das 25 Fontes Alternative Route

Highlight • Trail

Nice alternative on the way to the 25 Fontes, very close to nature. The levada was partially cut through the mountain. The overgrowing trees create a rustic atmosphere.
