Hiking

The Levada Caldeirão Verde is an impressive work of art created in the 18th century. It begins in the main river bed of the Caldeirão Verde and crosses rugged slopes and mountains to transport the water that runs from the highest peaks of the island of Madeira to the valley. There it is used to irrigate the agricultural fields of the municipality of Faial. There are waterfalls, tunnels and subtropical nature.

It's best to go when it's sneezing because you can have peace and quiet and it's wet and humid anyway.

One of the most beautiful hikes on the island. Not doing this would be criminal! But: You should be free from giddiness!
