Other walks in the area

Walking The Levadas of Rabaçal

Walker
↔13.08 km ↗+1,196 m ↘-1,200 m ◔7h 10 ▲Moderate
⚑Departure from Calheta (Madeira (Portugal)) (Madeira)

It runs along the three very different Levadas, all interconnected by sloping paths. The route covers a varied landscape, crossing over diverse vegetation, and with beautiful views of the waterfalls. A hike whose direction and length can be adjusted depending on wishes or circumstances.
N.B. The displayed altitude difference is higher than reality (and consequently so is the average time for completion). Expect more in the realm of 600 metres in altitude.

Walking La Levada do Norte and Folhadal forest

Walker
↔5.32 km ↗+364 m ↘-355 m ◔2h 35 ▲Moderate
⚑Departure from Câmara de Lobos (Madeira)

Madeira Island is filled with irrigation canals, the Levadas. This short hike takes you along the Levada do Norte, one of the most significant of the island, located in an elevated part of the island. You'll find stunning viewpoints along the way and go through a beautiful forest with various species.
N.B. The altitude displayed is most probably over estimated as the trail is relatively flat along the Levada following the contour line.

Walking Pico Ruivo from Bocca da Encumeada

Walker
↔19.44 km ↗+2,655 m ↘-2,646 m ◔8 hrs ▲Very difficult
⚑Departure from Câmara de Lobos (Madeira)

Climb to the highest point of the island of Madeira, and by the road less travelled. A long and demanding hike in diverse environments. Beautiful viewpoints on the route and, at the top, a beautiful 360° view.
N.B. Due to the steep crags of Madeira, the displayed altitude difference is overestimated and, therefore, so is the estimate of the time. Expect the elevation to be more in the order of 1,200 m in both directions.

Walking Seixal- Châo da Ribeira

Walker
↔9.91 km ↗+599 m ↘-595 m ◔4h 35 ▲Moderate
⚑Departure from Porto Moniz (Madeira)

Nice climb in the hinterland. A walk away from the crowd in the undergrowth between ferns and laurel. Beautiful views of the surrounding area.

Walking Pico do Arieiro Pico Ruivo crossing

Walker
Pico do Arieiro Pico Ruivo crossing
↔9.82 km ↗+1,909 m ↘-1,912 m ◔8h 15 ▲Difficult
⚑Departure from Santana (Madeira)

A fabulous but demanding hike that leads through exceptional panoramas and vertiginous peaks to the island's highest summit.
Although the route is completely safe, it may not be suitable for those prone to vertigo. The path is paved throughout and includes tunnels.
N.B. The altitude difference shown is obviously overestimated (which happens in very steep terrain like this): count on around 1000m.

Walking Lévada Grande or do Moinho

Walker
↔14.22 km ↗+339 m ↘-1,119 m ◔5h 00 ▲Moderate
⚑Departure from Porto Moniz (Madeira)

Take a cab/taxi almost to the beginning of the levada, then walk back down to Porto Moniz.

Walking Pico Ruivo from Achada de Teixeira

Walker
↔5.38 km ↗+362 m ↘-358 m ◔2h 35 ▲Moderate
⚑Departure from Santana (Madeira)

Climb to the highest point of the island of Madeira, taking the easier route. Beautiful mountain scenery and a superb 360° panorama at the top.

Walking Ribeira da Janela Levada

Walker
↔11.18 km ↗+1,479 m ↘-1,477 m ◔7h 25 ▲Moderate
⚑Departure from Porto Moniz (Madeira)

This hike covers about half of the Levada da Ribeira da Janela (about 6 Km out of the 12 Km) and takes you through a dense, humid forest with a wall of vegetation, huge ferns and impressive rock faces.

There are a number of viewpoints over the valley of the Ribeira da Janela (the longest river in Madeira).
