Itinerary
We operate in full Laurissilva Forest, a World Heritage site. From this point, we can observe one of the most beautiful valleys of Madeira, the Rabaçal Valley and down to the Forest House of Rabaçal. The Levada Rabaçal begins in Paul da Serra, more precisely in Calheta. After a few meters of pure beauty, we make our first visit to the stunning waterfall of Risco. After a break in the Risco balcony, we follow our path.
All around you can be dazzled by the green beauty of the forest and the sound of nature, the natural heart of Madeira Island. We can enjoy a variety of plant species and listen to the water running along the Levada walk. In the end of the Rabaçal Levada walk, we find the 25 Fontes and its beautiful green and fresh lagoon, surrounded by giant ferns. After appreciating its natural and breathtaking scenery, we go round the same track back.
