Rabacal trip with madreia free spirit walks.picked up once again on time and our driver george and guide for the day Maria took us to a brief toilet and coffee stop on route to the start of the walk.maria explained with knowledge the area and indigenous plants etc along the way. This walk took you firstly mainly downhill to the levada then along to a waterfall prior to the 25 fontes waterfall itself. Now I have to say this is a VERY VERY popular place and at times almost TOO busy the 25 fonts itself was extremely busy.now what goes down must go up! So the return leg you had to climb a fair few steps so I'd say a good general fitness level is best.(oh beware low trees it claimed a few heads ha ha it pays to look up where you are walking )
The way back led through an 800 metre tunnel so take a torch or reserve enough camera battery .this tunnel is not small at all but cold and in places wet so waterproof footwear is common sense tbh. Once out of the tunnel a small downhill walk where our driver george awaited. Overall a good walk but almost too popular ( yes we did contribute to that!) On return there was a brief stop for toilet and drinks.great day out I'd recommend this company

We did the 25 Fontes walk with Alvarro as guide. He was very knowledgeable but amusing as we walked, but keen also forbid us to be safe. The walk had stunning scenery and though 4 hours long, not overly strenuous. Thoroughly recommend the walk as well as the guide/company

From start to finish an excellent trip. Alvaro was knowledgeable about the history of levadas and about plant life. The walk was paced to the slowest walker. Walking poles were offered at the start of the trip. There are a number of steps to negotiate. These can be tricky because they vary in height. Also beware of trip hazards,lumps of rock and tree roots plus mind your head in some sections. Around 4 hours was allocated for the 11km trip. Stops were built in along the way to admire the views and waterfalls. Overall excellent.

From pickup to drop off this tour went flawlessly. Susana was a great guide - I was in a group of 9 and she kept everyone together on this busy path. We started a bit early so we were the first group to first waterfall but after that it was busy. She paced our hike well, gave encouragement when needed and also gave information about the plants we saw along the way. I would recommend this tour.
