We undertook your Rabacal Valley walk last week via the Levada. It was magical. Trekking through a tropical forest without the need for a machete. Walking was straight forward other than the constant need to stop and take in the breath-taking views. We tackled the tunnel, which when you emerged opened up into a high gorge with waterfall over it. A fabulous warm afternoons walk. Whilst in Maderia we also followed the PR 3.1 from Monte to Pico Alto which was part pilgrimage and part gentle mountain scramble. Again, beautiful views with peace and tranquillity. Whilst visiting the Cabo Girao the Sky walk over the 580m cliff we accidently found the Levada do Norte which follows the southern coast for a while, other than locals taking short cuts this was deserted with beautiful sea and village views. Finally, we got the bus from Funchal to the Nuns Valley, Curral das Freiras. This place is like a small-scale Yosemite, jaw droppingly beautiful. What an Island.
Please wait...
