Explore the lush and evergreen Rabaçal valley, nestled within the Madeira Natural Park on the island’s northwest. This area is a haven for nature lovers, offering a glimpse into the rich biodiversity of the indigenous Laurisilva forest, a UNESCO World Natural Heritage site. The forest is filled with mosses, lichens, and ferns, creating a vibrant and almost mystical atmosphere as you walk along the levadas. The well-maintained trails allow visitors to immerse themselves in the greenery while enjoying the calm and fresh mountain air.
The highlight of the hike is following the Levada to Risco and the 25 Fountains, where cascading waterfalls, singing fountains, and tiny translucent lakes create a magical scenery. Each turn of the trail reveals new surprises, from hidden waterfalls to serene pools, making the journey as enchanting as the destination itself. Spanning 12 km with a moderate grade, this trail offers a rewarding mix of adventure, relaxation, and connection with nature, perfect for hikers seeking both beauty and tranquility.
