Madeira Levada Walks & Hiking Tours

Follow the water through the wild: Madeira’s levadas are centuries-old irrigation channels with footpaths that thread through emerald laurel forests, valleys and waterfalls. Guided hikes like the 25 Fontes and Rabaçal trails, and the misty, fairytale Fanal forest, reveal the island’s lush, UNESCO-protected interior.
