What to expect

Rabaçal valley sits within a UNESCO-protected area with ancient laurel forest, waterfalls and natural springs that abound. This popular 11km-long ‘25 fountains' levada walk will lead you through Madeira's magical lands from Paul da Serra all the way to Risco waterfall and the 25 springs.

We'll start from the top of the Paul da Serra plateau and descend into the lush green valley below. Your guide will be with you every step of the way pointing out the flora and fauna that Madeira is well-known for. Once we arrive at the Rabaçal guesthouse, you'll make your way to the Risco waterfall through the valley.

Afterwards, you'll follow the levada through beautiful countryside to a small lake, where you'll be met with 25 natural springs trickling down the hills. Enjoy a short break to soak up the atmosphere before returning to the vehicles through a tunnel that transports water to the south of Madeira.

    Pani przewodnik super. Pogoda na wycieczke byla ciezka, mnóstwo wody na szlaku, pani Laura swietnie nas prowadzila, zwracala uwage na co i kiedy uwazac, konkretna, rzeczowa z duza kultura osobista i bez zbednego, cwierkania jak to sie czeto zdarza - klasa. Wycieczka naprawde fajna, trasa rozsadnie przemyslana, nie trzeba wracac do miejsca, z którego sie zaczyna co ulatwia trudy wedrówki a zarazem nic sie nie traci, kazdy mógl isc w swoim tempie wiec nawet ze slasza kondycja mozna sie wybrac.
