Steep stone steps in Madeira Natural Park

Highlight • Trail

The stairs are well developed and go a little to the substance. Especially in hot weather.

View of Risco and 25 Fontes Waterfalls

Highlight • Viewpoint

The 25 Fontes waterfall is one of Madeira's most magical places. Water from countless small springs and rivulets flows over the moss-covered rock face into a clear, green pool – a sight that seems almost fairytale-like. Surrounded by dense laurel forest and ferns, this spot is the impressive centerpiece of the entire levada hike.

25 Fontes (25 Springs) Waterfall

Highlight • Waterfall

A beautiful natural spectacle that you don't see often. The 25 Fontes are certainly worth a visit. However, you share the joy with many other hikers.

Queimadinha Viewpoint

Highlight • Viewpoint

The Queimadinha viewpoint offers sweeping views across the green valleys and densely wooded slopes of Madeira Natural Park. The mix of laurel forest, heather, and open clearings creates a diverse panorama that impressively showcases the island's pristine nature. A tranquil spot, perfect for a short break with a view.
