Full description

Madeira Island never ceases to amaze us with its sweeping landscapes! This unique attractiveness that touches your soul really seems to have come straight out of a fairy tale. To check those words, let’s start with a walking tour of the famous Levadas, surprise yourself!

We began our full day tour in Santana municipality in the middle of Laurissilva Forest. Here you will find the Queimadas guesthouse, which maintains the original characteristics of the typical Santana houses.  

The route is unbelievably green, everything around you represents nature in its pure state. During the walk, you will be able to contemplate a panoramic scenery over the village of São Jorge. You will pass through several mysterious tunnels, so prepare your torch and start to explore!

As you reach the Caldeirão Verde, you will appreciate a stunning waterfall through which passes crystalline waters. Enjoy a relaxing moment to the sound of water and take some time to recharge batteries with a picnic.

We proceed with the visit that will lead us to Santana, until then find fields of green grass and lands where animals walk freely.

Great tour like Indiana Jones
The walkway is quite narrow so you have to be careful where you step. The route has 13 kilometers and during these kilometers we pass through narrow places and four tunnels. In the tunnels the guide gave us torches to illuminate. It looked like it was in an Indiana Jones movie, ahahah, I loved it. Take a 50 cent coin if you need to go to the bathroom. Bring boots with good grip because there is some mud in the way.

A unique spectacular panoramic walk
We booked this tour online with Living Tours. They were very good and provided us all the necessary support for this tour. The worst part is that we have to go get other clients to their hotels, but otherwise, that's fine. Our hiking partners were Spanish and we didn't understand much that the guide said in Spanish. He always translated for us too, was very friendly and gave us as much attention as he gave them. The walk is beautiful, and believe me I've seen a lot of beautiful things in other parts of the world and this one was the best. Of course you can do this walk alone but the guide explains everything about the area. We love it.

The guide is the essence of this tour
This guide deserves 5 * or more. The hike is not good for vertigo sufferers as there are points where we are very high and near the edge of the mountain. He has always been by our side and knows the ground like no one. It is noted that he knows the geography of the area as well as all the beautiful plant species we have seen.

Amazing views - green everywhere
The collection was made at the hotel and our guide was very friendly and knowledgeable. The best part of our tour was from the Queimadas levada to the Caldeirão Verde waterfall. There are stunning views everywhere. Amazing.
