This circular trail, in my opinion, is a true hidden gem of Madeira’s southern coast of Madeira.

Why?

Because this relatively short hike includes:

• The historic Ponte de Roma bridge

• A stunning suspension bridge,

• At least two waterfalls you can explore up close.

Throughout the trail, you’ll also spot several waterfalls from a distance.

However, I wouldn’t call the entire route scenic. It’s more about the highlights that make it stand out. And the fact that it’s a circular route means you won’t need any additional transfer to complete it.

I’ve attached my GPS Track for this route. You can park your car at the starting point where I began the hike and follow my path.

The two beautiful waterfalls are located near the suspension bridge. To find them:

1. Cross the bridge.

2. Turn left and walk along the levada until it ends.

3. Then, cross the stream and continue for another 30-50 meters.

You’ll see everything around the corner! 😉
