The Levada do Rei, a 5.3 km long hiking trail (plus 5.3 km round trip), leads through the island's lush natural landscape to a unique, protected area. The hike, rated as moderate, takes approximately 3 hours and 30 minutes. Since there are hardly any inclines, it is not particularly strenuous.

There is a fee for the Levada hike. An attendant stands near the trailhead parking lot informing visitors that the fee applies.

Visitors aged 12 and over pay €4.50.

Payment is possible via QR code through the SIMplifica portal.

Cash payments are not accepted.

Valley view

Highlight • Viewpoint

The Levada do Rei mainly leads through dense vegetation, but at this point the forest opens up and offers you a beautiful panorama of the Ribeiro Bonito valley.

View of the mountains in Madeira Natural Park

Highlight • Viewpoint

The view into the valley in Madeira Natural Park conveys the magnificent vastness and wildness of this protected landscape: far below, gently rolling mountain ridges and ancient laurel forests stretch out, while mist-shrouded valleys meander like green rivers between the peaks. The contrast between the lush green of the forest and the blue of the Atlantic in the background reinforces the feeling of having arrived in a natural haven far removed from everyday life.
