Prazeres Barefoot Path with Cactus Garden

Highlight • Trail

The "foot reflexology massage" with a beautiful view is not only for hotel guests. One euro you pay at the front desk, even a towel and can almost walk barefoot over and through everything that Madeira has to offer.

View Above the Waterfall

Highlight • Viewpoint

The water crossing can difficult after wet weather, there is no bridge. The rocks were submerged, we took off shoes and socks and walked through the water.

Levada Stepping Stones

Highlight • Bridge

Clearly they’ve thought this out. Crossing is quite easy but do be aware that the stepping stones can be wet so still take care.
