★★★★★ Levada do Caldeirão Verde – Heaven. 🌿✨ An unforgettable walk through one of Madeira’s most magical landscapes. Surrounded by lush greenery, misty cliffs, and the peaceful sound of water running beside you, every step feels like a fairytale. The waterfall at the end is worth every minute of the hike. 🔸 Tips: • Take a jacket – it can get chilly, especially in the shade or near the waterfall. • Wear proper hiking shoes – the path can be slippery and uneven in spots. • Bring enough water and snacks/food, it’s a long walk, and there are no shops along the way. Nature lovers: don’t miss this one!
Tip-if you don’t do hikes and want to see the geese and beginning bits, we didn’t pay for parking cuz it only took half hour! Bonus! We came to see the lovely steps with wood woven banisters, geese and the sleepy cats. Saw hikers covered in mud and decided that wasn’t for me. Quick pit stop well worth it!
Incredible nature – lush, humid, and absolutely stunning, that’s what gives it all its charm. Very well maintained and clear. I’d make it my own garden, that’s how much I love it! Just watch out for peak hours when it comes to parking.
Beautiful walk in the nature. Difficult terrain, and when it's very humid, prepare for mud. We didn't have good views due to low hanging clouds, but otherwise very nice and special place.
