What to expect

Emerald green landscapes characterise this hike to some of the most remote areas on Madeira. You'll walk along the Caldeirão Verde levada through mystical laurel forests to the spectacular waterfall at the end of the path. With mystifying views over the north coast and more greenery than you could imagine, this walk is not to be missed.

You'll set off on foot with your guide from the Queimadas guesthouse, and with 13km of just nature and scenery before you, you're guaranteed pure serenity during this four-and-a-half-hour-long hike. We'll follow the Caldeirão Verde levada through a green paradise with laurel trees providing cool shade and the sun peeping through the treetops.

Villages will appear dotted below in the lush green valleys and from here you'll catch your first glimpse of the Caldeirão Verde waterfall. You'll walk through a series of tunnels and soon arrive at the majestic waterfall where you'll be able to rest your legs and soak up the atmosphere before heading back to your hotel.

    George is een super enthousiaste gids, houdt de groep goed bij elkaar. Vertelt veel over de levada's, het ontstaan ervan, bloemen en bomen in het gebied. Op de terugweg mag de groep uiteen en kan een ieder zelf rustig zijn pad vervolgen, perfect

    Het was een prachtige wandeling, je moet echt wel goed ter been zijn. Overal ongelijke ondergrond. En met een groep loop je wel veel achter elkaar. Het was wel druk maar dat is in dit seizoen. Alles goed geregeld qua ophalen. Een leuke gids met fijne uitleg.

    Super dag, wij werden op tijd opgehaald door een aardige chauffeur. De wandeling met gids die onderweg vertelde over de bomen en planten was geweldig.

    De omgeving is prachtig maar het was slecht weer. De hele tocht regende het waardoor de paden en de tunnels slecht begaanbaar werden. Hierdoor namen de snelheidsverschillen tussen de deelnemers flink toe en werd dit in combinatie met het flinke aantal toeristen voor de gids moeilijk cq onmogelijk om te overzien. Gedurende het grootste deel van de tocht waren de dalen niet of nauwelijks te zien en werd het elkaar passeren tegen de steile wanden onveilig.
