Description

Hiking Transfers – Comfortable Transportation Guaranteed

Step into the heart of Madeira’s enchanting Laurissilva forest with a seamless roundtrip transfer to the famous Levada das 25 Fontes and Levada do Risco – two of the island’s most breathtaking hiking trails. Starting in the Rabaçal valley, this magical journey takes you through ancient forests, past moss-covered rocks and along peaceful levada paths, where the constant sound of running water accompanies every step.

The 25 Fontes trail leads you to a spectacular natural amphitheatre, where crystal-clear waters spring from the cliffs and gently flow into the tranquil lagoon of the 25 Fontes — the perfect spot to pause, breathe and absorb the raw beauty of nature.

Just minutes away, a short detour takes you to the Risco Waterfall, an impressive cascade nearly 100 metres high, tumbling down a sheer rock wall. A true spectacle of power and elegance that remains unforgettable.

More than just a hike, this experience is an immersion into Madeira’s history and biodiversity: the levada network, built over centuries to bring water to agricultural lands, now offers accessible trails within a protected ecosystem classified as a UNESCO World Natural Heritage site.

Not Suitable for Children under 12 years old
