    Superb levada winding along a beautiful cliff.

    A levada is an irrigation canal or an aqueduct. Originally, they were created to transport large quantities of water from the northwest side of the island, wetter, to the southeast side, drier.

    Walk comfortably and flatly on the Levada and enjoy the great view! There is also less going on here than at other levadas.

    The Levada do Norte is one of Madeira's sunniest levadas, meandering gently along the hillsides with sweeping views of villages, terraced fields, and the Atlantic Ocean. The well-maintained path leads you past eucalyptus trees, small gardens, and through short tunnels, always accompanied by the gentle murmur of the water. Thanks to its gentle gradient, this hike is ideal for leisurely walkers, but some exposed sections still require attention and sure footing.
