Levada Stepping Stones

Highlight • Bridge

Clearly they’ve thought this out. Crossing is quite easy but do be aware that the stepping stones can be wet so still take care.

Unfortunately a fire destroyed the entire woodland

May 28, 2022,Maloeira nach Prazeres mit Dorfrundgang und Minizoo - entspannte Wanderung

Strengthened, we started at the Bar Moinho with the entry into the levada. Relaxed hike along the levada to Prazeres. There are various bars and restaurants there. We took a little walk through the village and also visited the mini zoo. The small attached botanical garden shows Madeira's plants/herbs. Guided tours are offered on Fridays. In Prezares, many scarecrows, some …

The levada is pretty unspectacular.
But the highlight are the flowers.

Behind the church was a small …

The route has no longer been so easy to pass since the forest fire. Fallen trees are in the way and the climb is not paved. In the meantime we considered canceling.

We start in Prazeres at the Hotel Jardim Atlântico. At the beginning of the tour, there are spectacular views over the steep slopes of the coast and the azure blue Atlantic. Now we go steeply down on sloping paved steps. We are lucky, the stones are dry and easy to grip. In between, there are always this wonderful view of …

May 29, 2023,Madeira - Rundweg Maloeira

Today was our last day of vacation and the choice was to do nothing or go on another tour...
The result was clear: it was supposed to be a farewell tour from Madeira.
It should be something small and cute.
