Caldeirão Verde walks
Levada do Caldeirão Verde
This out-and-back hike follows one of Madeira's most beautiful levadas.
Dotted with trees lying over the canal and tunnels, it leads you to the "Green Cauldron", a small cirque with a beautiful waterfall around 100 metres high.
The passages through the tunnels, lit by headlamps, will liven up the walk with children.
However, be careful with the youngest or the most restless, as some passages are narrow and vertiginous.
Difference in altitude of less than 100 metres, do not take into account the data in the technical data sheet.

Levada Do Furado de Ribeiro Frio
A must-do levada, very easy, for all ages, alternating shady sections on the mountainside, winding paths and panoramic views of the island's north coast and then the east coast as you reach Portela.
Less busy than other levadas, the 10.5 Km walk is 4/5ths flat, with no change in altitude (very gentle slope all along the levada), except for a 200-meter drop in altitude on the last 2 Km of the walk.
Take a cab back to the starting point.
Chao da Rocha - Rocha do Navio
A short route downhill to Fajã dos Padres, an agricultural area open to tourists but inaccessible by car. In fact, there are only three ways to get there: on foot, by cable car or by boat. The descent via the hike allows you to enjoy the view of the cliff and waterfalls from different vantage points. Unlike the cable car, which takes five minutes to descend, you will have time to enjoy the walk down. However, be careful, as the path can be muddy after heavy rain and slippery. There are many steps.

And allow 3 hours- Allow €10 per person to return to the starting point by taxi from Sao Roque.
