Levada dos Piornais & Câmara de Lobos

Directly from Lido we start steeply uphill in the direction of the Levada. The steps don't seem to want to end... when we arrived at the top we were really out of breath for the first time - phew! No wonder, the sun is burning at 27°C and a hike in the shade …

Day 2, Madeira. Today, we walked the Levada dos Piornais in beautiful weather. The first few kilometers are fantastic. You walk along a roughly 50cm wide concrete wall through the banana plantations along the levada. The last stretch, however, is not for the faint of heart. For this section, you walk along this wall, and right next to it, there's …

This section is particularly beautiful because it offers a bit of variety. After descending the stairs, our way through the middle of the banana plantation is not recommended! When you arrive in …

Day 2 on Madeira, unfortunately a rainy day, today more than 40l per square meter came down.

Today the path led us directly from the hotel up some stairs and steep streets, and then we hiked along the Levada dos Piornais. This led us past some banana plantations above Funchal and I was able to harvest a banana for the …

You can now walk along the coast and through the tunnel at the end of Praia Formose
