Overview of your Funchal tour

This beautiful trail begins in the highlands of the biggest Madeira plateau, where also we have the biggest resort of pure water. We have parts where the path is open, offering hikers the opportunity to appreciate the grandeur and magnificence of a set of beautiful landscapes. Other parts of the trail are closed and covered up by the magnificent and lush vegetation of Laurissilva's forest, delighting visitors with its freshness and abundance. After that, a unique journey starts where the hiker travels side by side with the levada, surrounded by the lush vegetation, although the centenary thees stands out in many areas like Guardians of the rain forest. In a corner, away of the normal trail, lies one of the best shinning waterfalls from all the island, forming a pond of pure and crystal water, on an area shined by the sun. With me you will be able to know the history and secrets hidden from the eyes of foreigners. Relax and enjoy this amazing tour, releasing your spirit of adventure.
