Levada do Alecrim

This is a walk unlike any other. Many of our guest tell us it is the walk they have enjoyed the most in Madeira. Deep in the valley of western plateau, you will marvel at the rock pools, that over millions of years have been carved out by the waters as they rush towards the sea, forming magnificent waterfalls and cascades. In summer bring your costume and enjoy a cool crisp swim in these crystal clear and invigorating mountain waters. You will experience a diversity of walking terrain from the flatness of the levadas to the gradients of the mountains tracks, as we make our way up the valley. From forest trekking, along unmarked roots, to scrambling up to the oldest levada in the west of the island. An unforgettable experience.

We have used Madeira Explorers many times now and in fact have done most if not all of their walks, some multiple times. They are always quick to respond to emails and are extremely reliable. They pick you up from your hotel and drop you back afterwards and the guides are very friendly and informative. The walks cater for all ages and abilities and are a great way to see the countryside in Madeira. They also stop for a coffee and some cake on the way home. All of the walks are also very reasonably priced.

Perfect hike...you start high, the tou go low down to the Wind lagoon but along the way you experience nature on well -maintained trails. Just expect mud if it has rained recently. The wind lagoon is just breath taking as you watch the water fall and pool. Had it been summer I would have taken a dip...or at least my feet. Then you head back up and up until you get to the levada do alecrim. You go to the mother source of that levada and have lunch for 30 min. And sitting on a sunny rock in a lagoon with nature surrounding you is awesome. The final leg of the journey is flat as you follow the levada out. Our guide Maria was really good. She is native Madeiran and shared info as well as safety tips and rules to be safe. We were the last ones to leave lunch break, and she brings up the rear of the group walking back, so we got to ask her more questions. I highly recommend this tour.

The walk was a bit hard in certain parts as there were steep ascensions and descensions, but the views and nature were totally worth it. Our guide Margarita was very helpful and informative and made sure everyone was comfortable and safe.

Es war eine sehr schöne Wanderung, sie ist unserer Meinung nach nicht für untrainierte geeignet. Eine gut Grundkondition sollte vorhanden sein. Die Schrittgeschwindigkeit ist recht zügig.
