Rabaçal - Risco - 25 Fontes Levada Walk
Overview
The Levada Rabaçal begins in Paul da Serra, more precisely in Rabaçal.
From this point we can observe one of the most beautiful valleys of Madeira, the Rabaçal Valley and down to the Forest House of Rabaçal. We operate in full Laurissilva Forest, a World Heritage site.
After a few meters of pure beauty we make our first visit to the stunning waterfall of Risco. After a break in the Risco balcony we follow our path.
All around you can be dazzled by the green beauty of the forest and the sound of nature, the natural heart of Madeira Island. We can enjoy a variety of plant species, to highlight the Tree Heather, Besom Heath and Madeira Bilberry.
Among many species of birds, hopefully we can find the Trocaz Pigeon a unique species of Madeira.
In the end we find the 25 Fontes and its beautiful green and fresh lagoon, surrounded by vines and giant ferns.
