The private tour was a great one on one experience. Paulo was very knowledgeable and personable. We stated at 5:00 pm and encountered only a few people returning from the Moinho and the Nova was completely void of people. The Moinho levada walk was 4 km in on the older system about 1/3 of the way up the valley. The most scenic part of the tour of carved out walls/tunnel and waterfall, which is on the newer built Nova levada. To get there you most climb up several hundred steps at the end of the Moinho walk. The Nova is 4 km back and runs quite a bit higher along the valley wall and in several places there are no railings. If you are afraid heights, BEWARE!! The entire walk took us 3hrs 20 min. Absolutely perfect with an amazing local guide.

Beautiful. You park at the church and the walk starts to the right of the church up a staircase. The route is very beautiful. After about 5 km there is a staircase leading to the waterfalls. Stunning! The cave is also beautiful. From there you can either go back or continue straight and return to Nova. It's basically a circular tour. When you reach the end of the Nova path, to return to the church you take a small piece of asphalt road downhill.
