Waterfall on Levada do Norte

Highlight • Waterfall

Great way, well developed and secured. It goes through a tunnel, here necessarily take flashlight. Mobile Apps is absolute minumum. Tunnel is sometimes narrow and low, esp. At entry and exit. It is best hat off and backpack to the front. Otherwise, a very nice tour. After crossing the mountain can be completely different weather on the other side. Was the case with us. We were in the middle of the clouds.

Levada Tunnel Exit, Madeira Natural Park

Highlight • Trail

In this section of the Levada, which can only be reached through long tunnels, you are mostly alone and surrounded by great nature.

Levada Tunnel on PR17

Highlight (Segment) • Structure

Be sure to bring a flashlight with you. Smartphone flashlight rather not suitable. Hiking sticks are also helpful for propping off in the canal or on the wall opposite.

Levada do Norte Tunnel Entrance

Highlight • Structure

At the tunnel entrance you may have to wait a bit because there are hardly any opportunities to evade the 500 meters through the tunnel.
At the south entrance there are benches and intrusive poultry focused on tourists.

Encumeada Tunnel

Highlight (Segment) • Structure

The tunnel Encumeada is about 800 meters long and in some places quite narrow and low. You should have a flashlight, I think the cell phone flashlight is not enough.

Rest Area with Mountain View in Madeira Natural Park

Highlight • Rest Area

At this rest area, you can enjoy a sweeping view down to Ribeira Brava, the terraced slopes, and the deep valleys of the south coast. Below you, the Levada das Rabaças winds its way through the landscape like a green ribbon, a reminder of how closely nature and irrigation are intertwined here. The bench invites you to take a break and enjoy a picnic while you soak in the ever-changing sea views, the mountain panorama, and the interplay of clouds above the peaks.

Levada do Norte

Highlight • Trail

The Levada do Norte is one of Madeira's sunniest levadas, meandering gently along the hillsides with sweeping views of villages, terraced fields, and the Atlantic Ocean. The well-maintained path leads you past eucalyptus trees, small gardens, and through short tunnels, always accompanied by the gentle murmur of the water. Thanks to its gentle gradient, this hike is ideal for leisurely walkers, but some exposed sections still require attention and sure footing.
