Small tunnel

Highlight • Structure

The tunnel is short and dry, making it one of the simplest tunnels on all levada walks. However, the ceiling is quite low and tall hikers have to move their heads.

In the laurel forest

Highlight (Segment) • Forest

The laurel forest at Levada do Rei is one of the most beautiful in Madeira. Huge and gnarled, these impressive trees grow on both sides of the hiking trail and provide cool shade even in midsummer.

In summer, the waterfall leads little water and you can easily dry on the other side. In winter and in spring, you should better put on a rain jacket, because then rush here plenty of water from the mountain down.

November 28, 2021,Wanderung auf der Lovada do Rei

Unspectacular flat hike to a river. Since the path is offered as a hiking tour by local organizers, you may come across some hiking groups.
For us, compared to other levadas without any highlights, but perhaps quite interesting in the flowering period because of the lush vegetation.
