60 Mountain And Levada Routes On Madeira And Porto Santo International Walking

Madeira and Porto Santo are two beautiful islands located in the Atlantic Ocean, just off the coast of Portugal. They are known for their stunning scenery, which includes lush forests, rugged mountains, and sparkling blue waters. The islands are also home to a network of levadas, which are irrigation channels that were built centuries ago to transport water from the north of the islands to the south. These levadas now provide walkers with a unique way to explore the islands' natural beauty.

We offer 60 different levada and mountain routes on Madeira and Porto Santo, ranging from easy and leisurely walks to challenging and demanding hikes. Our walks are designed to suit all levels of fitness and experience, and we can provide guided walks or self-guided walking holidays.

Easy and leisurely walks

Our easy and leisurely walks are perfect for those who want to enjoy the beauty of Madeira and Porto Santo without having to tackle any challenging terrain. These walks are typically short and flat, and they offer stunning views of the islands' scenery. Some of our most popular easy and leisurely walks include:

• The Levada do Caldeirão Verde walk: This walk takes you through the Caldeirão Verde, a stunning crater lake located in the north of Madeira. The walk is relatively easy, and it offers beautiful views of the lake and the surrounding mountains.
• The Levada do Rei walk: This walk follows the Levada do Rei, an irrigation channel that was built in the 16th century. The walk is mostly flat, and it offers beautiful views of the surrounding countryside.
• The Ponta de São Lourenço walk: This walk takes you to the easternmost point of Madeira. The walk is relatively easy, and it offers stunning views of the Atlantic Ocean and the surrounding cliffs.

Challenging and demanding hikes

Our challenging and demanding hikes are perfect for those who are looking for a more challenging walking experience. These hikes are typically longer and more strenuous than our easy and leisurely walks, and they often involve climbing steep hills and traversing rough terrain. Some of our most popular challenging and demanding hikes include:

• The Pico Ruivo hike: This hike takes you to the summit of Pico Ruivo, the highest mountain in Madeira. The hike is challenging, but it offers stunning views of the island from the summit.
• The Vereda do Areeiro walk: This walk takes you along the Vereda do Areeiro, a narrow path that winds its way through the mountains of Madeira. The walk is challenging, but it offers beautiful views of the surrounding scenery.
• The Levada das 25 Fontes walk: This walk takes you through the Levada das 25 Fontes, a beautiful irrigation channel that is located in the north of Madeira. The walk is challenging, but it offers stunning views of the surrounding waterfalls and forests.
