Rabaçal's levadas: Rabaçal - Risco - 25 Fontes Grade 2 - walking time 4 hours Rabaçal is an enchanted fairyland of singing waterfalls, a favourite excursion spot for the islanders. Here at the head of Madeira's greatest valley, the Rabaçal house lies dwarfed beneath emerald mountains. Three levadas draw their water here; each has its own 'personality', and this walk lets you make friends with all three. Levada do Caldeirão Verde: Queimadas - Caldeirão Verde - Queimadas Grade 2 - walking time 4.5 hours The levada builders have been here first, but you still get the feeling of being the first person in one of the most remote parts of Madeira. Starting at Queimadas and walking through the emerald green rain forest into Caldeirão Verde. A wonderful walk. Levada do Portela: Ribeiro Frio - Portela Grade 1 - walking time 3.5 hours This walk we highly recommend! Spectacular majestic mountains, beautiful tranquil green valleys with close up bird life. A great challenge for photographers, this is one of our favourites. A perfect walk for beginners. Levada do Caniçal: Marocos - the Caniçal tunnel Grade 2 - walking time 4 hours This levada walk offers a level 2 grade that is enjoyable for most tourists of average fitness. The tranquility and peace on the Ribeira da Noia, the beautiful valleys with their 40 shades of green. A very special walk not to be missed. Mountain Walks on Madeira Walk No. 1: Boca da Corrida - Encumeada Grade 3 - walking time 5 hours This one no serious walker should miss. If we had to choose one mountain walk this would be it.

Walk No. 2: Pico do Arieiro - Pico Ruivo - Achada do Teixeira Grade 4 - walking time 4 hours Well, this is a great one! Start early as the mists dissipate with the morning sun.
