A beautiful levada walk that can be combined to a great circuit. So you get a nice tour that can not be found in any of the guides and therefore is not crowded!

October 20, 2022,Dschungel an der Levada da Serra 🥾🇵🇹

Unfortunately, nothing came of the round tour, because access from the levada to the path to the slope at the south-east end of the tour cannot be mastered without a small amount of climbing 🤷‍♂️

... instead let it rain twice through the waterfalls 😂💦💦

CAUTION, there is no longer a route on the way back after the turn-off into the gorse bushes. DO NOT …

June 11, 2023,Levada da Serra

We wanted to do the tour up to the main road so that we didn't have to go through the waterfalls a second time. Unfortunately, the levada was blocked after the arduous descent, so that there was no further progress because of the flooded path. So we had to go back up the stone steps, through the falls again and …
