Description

The trail begins with the peaceful Levada do Alecrim, a scenic water channel that gently guides hikers along soft red-earth paths, surrounded by dense ferns, twisted trees, and birdsong echoing through the laurel forest. The levada’s calm flow mirrors the rhythm of the forest — steady, ancient, and serene. A short but steeper detour leads you to the breathtaking Lagoa do Vento, a hidden gem where a tall waterfall cascades into a natural lagoon surrounded by towering cliffs and mossy stones. This secluded spot offers a dramatic contrast to the gentleness of the levada — raw, powerful, and deeply peaceful. Perfect for nature lovers, this moderate hike offers tranquility taking you through some of Madeira’s most iconic landscapes. Whether you're chasing waterfalls or simply seeking silence beneath the trees, this trail offers a true escape into the island’s natural soul.
