What to expect

One of the most popular walks in Madeira, the 11 km-long ‘25 fountains' levada walk will lead you through magical landscapes to waterfalls, a small lake and flowing springs. You'll journey from Paul da Serra into the Rabaçal Valley and along the levada to Risco waterfall and the 25 natural springs.

We'll start from the top of the Paul da Serra plateau and descend into the lush green valley below. Your guide will be with you every step of the way, pointing out the flora and fauna that Madeira is well-known for. Once we arrive at the Rabaçal guesthouse, we'll make our way to the Risco waterfall through the valley.

Afterwards, you'll keep following the levada through beautiful countryside all the way to a small lake, where you'll soon see the 25 natural springs trickling down the hills. Enjoy a short break to soak up the atmosphere before returning to the vehicles through a shortcut tunnel that transports water to the south of Madeira.

    Super - hat alles gepasst. Man sollte aber auf die Beschreibung achten - ordentliches Schuhwerk und angepasste / wetterfeste Kleidung.

    Wanderguidin war nicht so toll. Keine Bibipause während der Wanderung, Mittagspause.bei den 25 Quellen bei strömenden Regen, nie angehalten für Trinkpause. War stressige Wanderung für den Magen und den Kopf.
