Maroços Levada Walk Offers Scenic Views Over Machico and Madeira’s Terraced Countryside


A peaceful levada walk beginning in the village of Maroços invites visitors to experience one of Madeira’s most picturesque rural landscapes. The trail follows a traditional irrigation channel through terraced hillsides overlooking Machico, offering a gentle route that combines natural beauty with a glimpse into the island’s agricultural heritage.


As hikers make their way along the levada, they are surrounded by colorful flowers, lush vegetation, and carefully cultivated terraces that have supported local farming for generations. These fertile landscapes reflect the traditional methods of agriculture that continue to shape Madeira’s countryside and provide an authentic insight into rural island life.


Throughout the walk, panoramic views unfold across the valley of Machico and the sparkling Atlantic Ocean beyond. The elevated path provides numerous opportunities to pause, admire the scenery, and capture photographs of the dramatic coastline and surrounding mountains.


With its easy terrain and tranquil atmosphere, the Maroços Levada walk is well suited to hikers of a wide range of abilities. Combining scenic viewpoints, cultural heritage, and the peaceful charm of Madeira’s countryside, the trail offers a relaxing and rewarding outdoor experience.

Nice walk! It’s quite flat, so great for (young) kids. The part we walked (almost to the end) had a few narrow and slightly steep sections, so kids need to stay alert. Definitely not suitable for strollers. Parking is free – just leave your car in the small village near the start. The first 10 minutes go between houses, but then you’re out in nature. The trail is more open with lovely views, but that also means less shade, so bring hats and water on a sunny day. The only downside: we were a bit disappointed to see some rubbish people had left along the way. Such a shame, because otherwise it’s a really enjoyable and family-friendly levada walk.

We walked 11 km because there is no sign where trail end's. Maybe it will go much further but for us that was enough. Nice view's of a local life, gardens, house's. Not much of a mountain view's but still pretty nice. Easy flat walk. No need hiking shoes but of course don't go with white sneakers.

I suffer from vertigo, so after research this walk seemed to fit the bill. The immediate drops are manageable, basically a max of 1-2m down into a field of potatoes. Met 1 person at start of walk heading back who couldn't cope with the vertigo, so if you have severe vertigo it may not be for you.
