What to expect

“Levadas” are man-made irrigation canals built to provide water from the northern to the southern part of Madeira, where the climate is drier. The Levadas of do Rabaçal, Risco and 25 Fontes are part of this network of over 3000 kilometers of canals.

You will walk through the Rabaçal Valley, one of Mother Nature’s masterpieces in Madeira Island. Starting descending the Paul da Serra plateau, until you reach the Rabaçal guesthouse and the waterfall known as Risco. The trekking continues through the 25 Fontes Levada to a lagoon, located in the inferior part of a rock, from where the 25 fountains flow. Take your time to enjoy the beautiful landscapes and the surrounding nature.

The way back will be through an 800 meters tunnel, which leads the water to the south part of the island. During the 11 km of the levada, you will reach a maximum altitude of 1280 meters and a minimum of 975 meters.
