madeira levada walk

9/9/2017

 
The levada walk PR9 starts at Queimadas at an altitude of 1000 m.

It doesn`t look like this, but the place can be pretty much crowded and difficult to find a spot to park your car.
The northerly winds over the last few days brought a lot humidity and the northern coast of Madeira was covered in clouds.

The hike is more or less on the same altitude, through tunnels and narrow paths in an incredible landscape. Bring a torch, good hiking shoes and watch your head in the tunnels.

Most people stopped at the the Caldeirao Verde, but I continued towards the Caldeirao do Inferno and eventually the sun broke through the clouds.
And yes, do not swim in the Levadas.

The trail ends after 9 km in the Cadeirao do Inferno, from here you have to go the same way back to Queimadas.
