About this Experience:

Dive into the details and see what makes this experience truly unique.

Set out on a journey through the São Jorge Valley, following one of Madeira’s oldest levadas — an 8-mile (13 km) trail winding through lush, green landscapes. Built in the 16th century to channel water to the island’s drier regions, these irrigation channels now offer a unique window into Madeira’s natural heritage. Along the way, your guide will point out the herbs and medicinal plants that flourish in this fertile valley.

A true highlight awaits at a picturesque waterfall, where you can step behind the cascading water and enjoy a tranquil moment surrounded by nature. This full-day (8-hour) hiking experience concludes with a return transfer to Funchal, leaving you with lasting memories of Madeira’s hidden corners.
