Levada dos Tornos Tunnel Entrance

Highlight • Structure

Bit daunting but worth it! Headtorch needed!!

Waterfall and View of the Valley, Madeira Natural Park

Highlight • Waterfall

This is what it looks like when you come out of the tunnel. Then you meet day hikers again. Anyone who goes through the tunnel the other way around comes to the wild part of Madeira. Only recommended for multi-day tours with overnight stays outside and appropriate professional equipment, good planning and experience.

Levada dos Tornos Junction

Highlight • Trail

Coming from Lombo do Urzal, follow the path to the right to the source of the Levada dos Tornos. Straight ahead, the PR2 hiking trail goes steeply uphill towards Curral das Freiras; to the left, you can follow the Levada dos Tornos almost endlessly.

Levada Trail Entrance, Parque Natural da Madeira

Highlight • Trail

The entrance is easy to reach by car, but there is a lack of parking spaces there. From here there is a whole section of stairs and a steep path uphill to the Levada.

Lombo do Urzal

Highlight • Trail

Site at the beginning (or end) of the PR2 "Vereda do Urzal" trail. At the top of the mountain you can walk towards Pico Ruivo - thus leaving the PR2 trail - or head towards Curral das Freiras. Lombo do Urzal is accessible by bus or car.

December 29, 2023,🇵🇹 Levada dos Tornos

Today we swap tour 1 for 4 to avoid the rain in the south. The bus takes us adventurously north and drops us off in Lombo do Urzal, a little before the planned start. Our path climbs quite steeply, up through the town, up to the Levada. That's quite a few meters in altitude that we have to fight our …

April 27, 2025,🇵🇹 Madeira: Durch den Lorbeerwald

A beautiful levada hike through dense laurel forest. Gorgeous greenery and rippling water accompany us along the well-maintained, flat path. This trail is a real insider tip. We encountered very few tourists here.

May 14, 2023,Madeira - Levada dos Tornos

The start was today in wonderful hiking weather in Boaventura. After a short climb, it's a km-long walk along the levada. The slight incline is hardly noticeable, making the landscape unbelievable. That's how I imagine it to be in the jungle. Small streams seem to have their source in the rocks. It is light-footed along the levadas. Respect for those …

February 26, 2024,🇵🇹Wanderwoche Madeira Tag 4:Lombo do Urzal entlang der Levada dos Tornos nach Faja do Penedo🇵🇹

Day 4 of the hiking week in Madeira took us from Lombo do Urzal, a village at the end of a valley in the north, immediately up a steep hill to the start of the Levada dos Tornos.
A bit unspectacular today along the Levada.
A little plant knowledge in between.
The forecast rain came for the last half hour. …
