🥾 This trail might be just 7.5 km long, but it packs a punch with its 500 m ascent and 500 m descent.

This trail is a part of PR10, but to make it circle you have make a turn off the beaten path. Here is the map of the route with starting point.

Get ready to immerse yourself in a world of levadas, waterfalls, cascades, and absolutely unexpected views that will leave you in awe! 😉

IMPORTANT: Since January 2026, access to the PR10 trail (which technically serves as the starting point for this hike) will require advance booking and a small fee to support Madeira’s ecosystem. The funds will go toward conservation, trail maintenance, and sustainable tourism efforts. To reserve your visit, please follow this link.
