About this Experience:

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

Join us on this half-day guided walk and enjoy breathtaking views, unique and unlike any other region in Madeira. The route follows a trail in Porto da Cruz, on the island’s northern coast, where the hillsides are hand-farmed with vineyards, sugarcane, and other seasonal fruits and vegetables. The levada we follow is essential for bringing water to these hard-to-reach plantations.

As you trace the contours of the hills, you’ll be rewarded with stunning panoramas –  looking up, across, and down the valley. The highlight of this walk is the imposing rock formation of Penha d’Águia (Eagle’s Rock), visible from miles away. This path is one of Madeira’s best-kept secrets and, for many of our visitors, one of the most enjoyable walks – a place you’ll always want to return to.
