Levada do Norte

Once up so high, it's a level walk along the waterways with alleyways to housing local veg plots and amazing terraces. It leads into more remote valleys and wilderness before returning into civilisation once more. 2 hours of walk with stunning views.

Beautiful walk with great views. The levada runs through a long dark tunnel so might be handy to have a torch.

This was my first time doing a levada tour and it was great! At the beginning we had some difficulty locating it, cause we did not start at the very start, but some streets later. After we found it it's a pretty straightforward way through the wine yards and houses. After the villige the levada goes through some cliffs, but there was an additional path to the "dangerous" narrow part. I decided to walk on the canal, it was okay, but you have to be careful and sure-footed. This part is not long, I think about 30-40 meters. There was almost no water in the canals, so I guess if you're afraid and get dizzy you can just take your shoes off and go through the water :D
The views are very nice and I really enjoyed this walk. It was somehow difficult to find the bus from Funchal (since we did this on Saturday and there were not so many busses, also the bus stops were not signed properly). We took bus 7 to Camara de Lobos and on the way back we took a taxi from the parking spot at the Cabo Girao Skywalk. It was 20 euros to Funchal city center.

A beautiful walk through vineyards and forested areas. Quite easy, does get narrow in places. Try Ilha tours, they were excellent guides and service.

Starting from Estreta, this levada is a little bit monotonous but you can reach the Skylight sightseeing at the Cabo Girao

Fabulous Really good walk Beautiful scenery Especially over the gorge

A very nice older gentleman is the owner of the place. There is no kitchen as far as I can tell, but a good variety of beverages, ice cream and snacks which came in very handy during our hiking tour with our children. We sat outside on the other side of a small road and enjoyed the view and the cold beverages.

Great walk along the waterways. Not for faint hearted as step edges in parts. Bar half way round up some steps is welcome for ice cream and drinks.

Easy and beautiful walk. Diferent view everytime you turn. Also you can see a lot of farms and some domestics animals.

Very interesting hike with amazing views. And with some secret spots to the attentive.

Very nice to walk, but parking can be tricky at certain times of the day.

Lovely walk to cabo girao must do if you coming in holiday

Beautiful paths very scenic

It's a levada and is good by definition!

Stunning, perfect views

Nice easy Levada walk.

Nice walk

wir waren mit zwei Kleinkindern unterwegs und nicht die ganze Strecke gegangen aber das was wir gesehen haben, war toll! Eine sehr gut zu gehende Wanderung mit Tunnel, Wasserfällen und Aussicht. Gepflegt und der Einstieg war auch leicht zu finden.

Fantastyczna miejsko-wiejska lewada, przebiegająca przy ogródkach, domostwach, pólkach uprawowych. Były też miejsca "dzikie", zarośla, wychodnie skalne. Bardzo malowniczy szlak i zwieńczony słynnym klifem - widoki i wrażenia u samego celu fantastyczne. Do tego nagroda: poncha i kawa z tartą... Należało się 😊

Velmi dlouhá leváda s mnoha dlouhými tunely. Doporučuji ssebou svítilnu nebo čelovku a něco na sebe. V tunelech je chladno.
