This is perhaps the most well known known in Madeira. As we walk along this footpath you will marvel at the display of light and shade filtering through the laurel and heather trees.
The trout swimming in the levada along side the path, dash for cover as they perceive our approach. As we near Lamaceiros, the view of Porto da Cruz and Eagle Rock far below are out of this world.
A walk that should not be missed.
