The levada (aqueduct) walking trails that follow the winding network of canals shape Madeira's lush green landscape, offering scenic hikes and stunning views of the surrounding area. Terraced fields, gurgling springs, and emerald forests ensure this hiking adventure will stay with you for a lifetime.

The levadas were constructed in the 19th century to bring water and power to the island. Today, they provide ideal hiking routes for the entire family to enjoy.

This moderate trek is ideal for first-time visitors to Madeira. The aromatic pine and eucalyptus trees of this lavish sub-tropical forest dot the path you follow. Learn the many stories behind the construction of the levadas and follow your guide through the breathtaking natural countryside. Take in panoramic views of the valley, forest, and glittering Atlantic Ocean as you hike toward the Quinta Grande village.
