Levada Path with Overhang

Highlight • Trail

The narrow path along the overhanging levada trail runs directly along the rock face, with a steep drop to the valley floor beside you. Beneath the overhanging rock overhang, you feel the mountain's proximity particularly intensely, accompanied by the gentle murmur of the levada and sweeping views down into the valley below. Surefootedness and a head for heights are essential here, but you'll be rewarded with a spectacular and impressive section of the trail.

Waterfall Along Levada do Norte

Highlight • Waterfall

After or during heavy rain above, it can be a bit dangerous here, as it goes steeply downhill right at the edge of the path. Please be careful.

Levada Waterfalls and Pools

Highlight • Waterfall

The Levada dos Tornos is impassable from the waterfall junction towards Camacha due to a landslide. It is passable from the direction of Gaula as far as the waterfalls; from there, a detour can be made northwards via the waterfalls. (The image position isn't quite right, but Komoot won't allow repositioning...)

Levada dos Tornos

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

If you follow the Levada dos Tornos from Camacha, you will pass through three tunnels that take the levada through the mountain. The first two must be crossed, the third can be avoided, but I recommend visiting all three of the tunnels, which are worth seeing.
A flashlight is essential!

A little further along the levada and then up the road to Aguas Mansas (battery is empty at the end)

Wonderful tour, three tunnels, a waterfall to go through, little adventure 😄
The time is wrong, for whatever reason.

Approach ER 102 past Carmacha, then turn right onto the ER206 to Gaula. After about 2 km, park opposite the bus stop. On the side of the bus stop is the Carmacha sign, walk in the direction of the water flow. You can go to Carmacha. We turned around beforehand. Wonderful prospects. Lots of tunnels, take a torch with you

As experienced hikers, we of course have excellent headlamps for such cases.
But they're of little use when they're at home 😄😅
