Hiking along the Levadas

For an active holiday in Madeira, to reconnect with yourself and nature, you will want to do one or more hikes along the levadas. Created by the inhabitants of the island, these Levadas allow water to circulate from the rainier north of the island to the sunnier south to grow delicious fruits and vegetables.

One Levada you must definitely do is this one.
