Canico Trip Overview
This hike starts at Ponta do Pargo in the Pedregal area and guides walkers on a fabulous trip through the nature and rural areas of the western part of Madeira Island.
Start by going up on the stone path until you reach Levada, where you should turn left to go side by side with the watercourse. Along the way, the trail offers us extraordinary views of Ponta do Pargo, the valley and the mountains. The flora and fauna around us involve our senses and make this almost magical route.
After enjoying the view, resume the walk and take advantage to know a little more Ponta do Pargo, its people, rural houses and their plantations. Feel the traditions and mix them with the experience of walking through nature.
The trail ends at the same starting point, but you will certainly have a completely different view than you had before you started.
