Apresentação geral
Levadas and the north coast of Madeira
Lauriferous forest, levadas, waterfalls, wet cliffs, natural pools and villages facing the Atlantic.
To understand what Levadas is and the northern coast of Madeira, you should look at Pico do Arieiro, Pico Ruivo and Levada do Caldeirão Verde. These places give us a view of a territory marked by island landscapes, mountain reliefs, forests and the coastline and allow us to move from emblematic sites to more intimate stages.
Ver tudo
For a stay of 4 to 8 days, it is necessary to plan a fairly sustained day. Also to be anticipated: dizzying trails and changing weather. A car is usually the easiest way to connect different sectors. Accessibility varies from site to site and deserves to be checked step by step.

Place
Levada do Caldeirão Verde
The Levada do Caldeirão Verde highlights the relationship between engineering and nature: water drain, walls, dense vegetation and suspension points of the course. The place is read following the continuity of the levada and the stopping spaces. The detail comes from the contrasts of sound between runoff and silence.
World Heritage
Forêt Laurifère de Madère
Madeira's lauriferous forest plunges the northern slopes of the island into moist vegetation of laurels, ferns, mosses and misty ravines. The levadas that cross it offer narrow steps along the water, with a fresh and changing atmosphere where clouds are part of the landscape.
Remarkable location
Île de Madère
Madeira condenses ocean cliffs, steep mountains, terraced crops and humid forests on a very vertical island. Travels quickly pass from the seafront to the altitude viewpoints; it is particularly suitable for travellers who like to walk, observe the Atlantic lights and deal with a very contrasting local weather.
Nature
Pico do Arieiro
The Pico do Arieiro is a clear cut in the atmosphere: dry wind, multiple views and a chain of reliefs between the edges. The trails direct attention to variations in light and changes in scale. A conservative progression allows us to understand the alternation between exposure and shelter.
