Een dagwandeling van ongeveer 4 uur en 30 minuten, beginnend bij Paúl da Serra, afdalend naar de Rabaçal-vallei tot aan de eerste levada (irrigatiekanaal), die leidt naar de eerste waterval, de Risco-waterval.
We daalden af om de tweede levada van de 25 bronnen te vinden, wat ons een prachtig en uniek uitzicht over de Rabaçal-vallei bood. Onderweg kwamen we endemische dier- en plantensoorten tegen, totdat we de lagune van de 25 bronnen bereikten. Op de terugweg reden we door een tunnel van ongeveer 800 meter.

Rabaçal 25 fontes Lavada walk
Great walk - a lot of people near the waterfall, but heyho it’s a popular walk. Numbers less than previous years due to the tax which hopefully will keep the area in good condition and pay decent wages to those who do it. Huge well done and thank you to Elton, who made it for us, a wealth of knowledge, information and general good hearted banter. Will definitely be back for other hikes. Thanks Elton 🙌

Thank you so much for your wonderful review!
We’re delighted to hear that you enjoyed the walk and, especially, that Elton made your experience so enjoyable with his knowledge, stories, and good-hearted humour. We’ll be sure to pass your kind words on to him.
The waterfall is certainly one of Madeira’s most popular spots, but we’re pleased that you still had a great experience despite the crowds. We also appreciate your thoughts regarding the conservation and management of the area.
It was a pleasure having you with us, and we look forward to welcoming you back for another adventure in Madeira!
Best regards,

A Wonderful Walk with a Great Guide!
Yesterday we enjoyed a fantastic day out with a great guide. We booked via a tourist info. kiosk near the centre of Funchal and were provided with details for the pickup very close to our hotel, which arrived right on time. We travelled in a minibus with 4 other couples, which was a good group size. We were looked after very well by our knowledgeable guide Maria and learned about the local landscape, plants and wildlife. I would recommend this experience to anyone who enjoys a good walk, surrounded by nature... and with some good humour too!

We’re delighted to hear that you enjoyed your day at Rabaçal and the 25 Fontes. It’s wonderful to know that you appreciated the convenient pick-up, the small group, and the opportunity to discover Madeira’s beautiful nature.
We’re especially happy that Maria made the experience enjoyable by sharing her knowledge of the local landscape, plants, and wildlife — along with a little good humour!
Thank you for recommending us. It was a pleasure having you with us, and we hope to welcome you back for another walk in Madeira soon!

beautiful hike but the trail was crowded
Suzanna was an amazing guide. The hike was pleasant, her info and personality made it interesting, The weather and views were great. The 25 fountains was a little crowded in early Sept. but this is the influencers' fault not the tour guide. There are other more empty hikes on Madeira. Still the whole thing was a nice experience. The only thing is I wish the French guy with the polyester sports top had taken a shower before the group trip. He stank up the van and stank up the trail too. Tell your customers to take a shower before the trip, and to respect others.

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with us.
We’re very pleased to hear that you enjoyed the hike and that Suzanna made the experience enjoyable with her knowledge and personality. We’ll certainly pass on your kind words to her.
Rabaçal and the 25 Fontes is one of Madeira’s most popular walks, so it can become quite busy, particularly during the summer months. Unfortunately, this is something beyond our control, but we’re glad that you still enjoyed the beautiful scenery and overall experience.
We also appreciate your feedback regarding the comfort of the group and the shared transport. We always encourage our guests to be considerate of others and to help make the experience pleasant for everyone.
Thank you again for choosing Free Spirit Walks, and we hope to welcome you back to Madeira for another, perhaps quieter, adventure!
Best regards,
The Free Spirit Walks Team

Walking shoes...
Walking shoes are not essential. Running sneakers are sufficient, provided you are not afraid of getting them dirty.
Bring a small snack and something to drink.
Reactie van de operator
Thank you for sharing your tips! 💚 We’re glad you enjoyed the hike and found trainers suitable for the trail. We always recommend comfortable footwear with good grip, especially on uneven or wet sections. And yes, bringing some water and a small snack is definitely a good idea! 🥾🌿

A very good day and a great guide
A service provider highly recommended for hikes: clear information sent via WhatsApp after booking, efficient pickup, no booking problems on simplifica (he handles it for you), a small group of 13 people, and a great guide (Elton) who gave us a lot of information about the island, the fauna, the flora, and of course the levadas, with a lot of professionalism but also humor. He found us a slightly alternative route to escape the crowds of the 25 Fontes hike on the way back and let us taste a real poncha before returning to the hotel. My only regret is not having had the time to do more than one hike with this service provider!

Thank you so much for this wonderful and detailed review! 💚 We’re delighted to hear that you enjoyed your experience with us and that Elton made your hike so special with his knowledge, professionalism, and great sense of humour. We’re also glad you enjoyed the quieter route and the poncha! 🍹 We only wish you’d had time for more walks with us. We hope to see you again on your next visit to Madeira! 🌿🥾

Wonderful tour guide!
What made this walk special wasn’t just the seamless transfer to/from destination nor the 25 Fonts (which was busy), it was Elton, our tour guide. He additionally took us on a less trodden route through a 800m tunnel which we wouldn’t have done by ourselves and was a wealth of information and enthusiasm about Madeira.

Thank you so much for your lovely review! We’re delighted to hear that Elton made your experience so special, sharing his knowledge and taking you along the lesser-known tunnel route. We’ll be sure to share your kind words with him. We hope to welcome you back to Madeira soon!

Another fantastic walk
Great walk! Elton did a fantastic job in bringing all the local flora and fauna to life with interesting facts about the construction and maintenance of the levadas along with loads of jokes! This was our second walk with Madeira Free Spirit Walks - both have been excellent. Well worth booking through them if you’re visiting the island and want to see the real Madeira.

RABAÇAL-25 FONTES
The 25 Fontes tour was an unforgettable experience, made even better by our incredible guide Elton . The trail itself is stunning—lush forests, peaceful levada paths, and a beautiful waterfall lagoon—but what really stood out was how knowledgeable and engaging Elton was. He shared fascinating insights about Madeira’s nature, history, and hidden spots along the way, all while keeping the group comfortable and on pace.He was friendly, professional, and genuinely passionate, Elton turned a great hike into something truly special. Highly recommend this tour as it was our second tour with Madeira Free Spirit walks both of which were spectacular
