Chose this walk on a paid tour based on the photos which I would say are not a good representation of the actual waterfall area. Whilst the walk itself is not strenuous you do have to go through a pitch black tunnel for approximately 20 minutes so take a torch or use your torch on your phone. I would definitely not recommend this if you suffer with confined spaces. There are 3 sets of steep steps so be prepared for those. The path is so overcrowded with people in both directions although one part of it is supposed to be one way. The scenery on the way to the waterfall was the best part although you are in the trees most of the time so can't see much else. There is no real no room to enjoy eating at the waterfall due to people clambering over all the rocks. It definitely did not look like the wide angle photographs and was a dark, wet area. I didn't even bother taking photos there. There's nowhere nearby to sit either, just on the side of the walkways. For me this was a very disappointing tour which was padded out by a stop at a roadside cafe on the way back to fill the time, not a full day of sightseeing in my opinion.

Nice walk and beautiful views. It was all down hill at the beginning from the car park for 30 mins. On the way to the 25 fountains, there were many steps so coming back up was not fun. But, it was worth it. The waterfall was much easier walk so we went their last before we headed back to the car park. We decided not to walk up hill to the car park and paid 3 euros for the shuttle bus. There are 2 shuttle buses and it took 7 or 8 passengers each time. I think during peak hours every 20 mins. We saw many struggling going back up to the car park. I’m glad I took the shuttle bus.

Wir haben 3 Tagestouren mit feeling Madeira gebucht: Tageswanderung Pico Ruivo, Rundfahrt Madeira Westen und Wanderung 25 Quellen. Alle Touren waren top, super Guides und straffes Programm aber jederzeit flexibel und auf Wünsche/Interessen der Gruppe eingegangen. Vorteil ist vorallem das die Gruppengröße überschaubar ist da in Kleinbussen getourt wird. Jederzeit wieder: Dankeschön an die Guides Johnny, Mattias und Phil😉👍

Teníamos contratada la excursión a 25Fontes dentro de un paquete vacacional de varios días. El día de la excursión NO nos recogieron , a pesar de que estábamos en el punto de encuentro diez minutos antes de la hora de recogida que era a las 9h05'. Pasados 20 minutos de la hora (pues ellos mismos solicitan que les demos 15' de cortesía por si se produce algún retraso en las recogidas) llamamos por teléfono para saber que pasaba y NADIE contestó . A las 12h nos enviaron sms diciendo que no estábamos en el punto de encuentro a la hora indicada, cosa que es totalmente MENTIRA., y diciendo que ya verÍan si nos devolvÍan el dinero. PROFESIONALIDAD CERO, Y ENCIMA SE JUSTIFICAN CON MENTIRAS.

Attratta dalle foto dei viaggiatori e dalla facilità del percorso decidiamo di intraprendere questa escursione. Parcheggiamo la macchina nell'ampio parcheggio e cominciamo a scendere per una stradina asfaltata 2,5 km ..... poi finalmente inizia il sentiero di altri 2,5 km con i giochi d'acqua per arrivare finalmente alla prima fontana ( o erano tutte e 25 in quella?) anche perchè il sentiero finiva proprio li. E ora? ora ti tocca tornare indietro e fare 5 km tutti in salita (compresi i gradoni) per aver visto una grande fontana con altre 24 fontanelle ???? bhà ..... la fatica non vale la pena

Très belle levada 😄 Levada do alecrim avec Emanuel trop top 😄 On s’est bien baladé. La balade était simple je recommande un bâton et des bonnes chaussures de marche 😄 sublime paysage

Unbedingt eine Tour, die man auf Madeira gemacht haben muss. Der Tourleiter hat uns viel über die Flora und Fauna des Rundgangs berichtet. Große Ansammlung von Touristen an den 25 Quellen sind zu zu erwarten. Die Wanderung ist für alle geeignet, aber achtet auf eure Köpfe!

Adorei o caminho!! Foi um bocado difícil mas valeu a pena, especialmente porque o Renato foi muito atencioso e esteve sempre a ajudar-me quando precisava.

Adorei a levada, foi cansativa mas valeu muito a pena pelas paisagens e cascatas lindas que vimos, o Renato foi o guia melhor que já tive, foi super atencioso, teve sempre pronto para ajudar e com boa disposição!
