March 21, 2025,Levada Serra do Faial

Today we're taking a leisurely, easy levada hike, as the other paths are still quite muddy and slippery after the storms. The nature here is simply breathtaking, no matter where you go. It's not called the Island of Flowers for nothing.

Beautiful levada hike through eucalyptus and laurel forests. The descent was a nightmare of asphalt with a 30% gradient.

From the Funchal bus station (ticket € 2.20 p.p.) the 🚌 129 took you to Camacha, the place of basket weavers. But there is not much advertising for it.

We hiked this tour before in autumn 2022, when it was raining. Today, when the weather was nice, it was a completely different impression. Excellent.
Bus line 129 goes from Funchal to Camacha - a basket weaving village. The Levada Serra then leads back to Funchal. Down to the Gardens "Jardim Botanico". Back there by bus no. 31.

At the end there is a steep 2.5 km downhill. Not good for your knees. Otherwise a very relaxed tour. Travel by bus. €2.60, you can't go wrong

February 28, 2026,Durch Eukalytusalleen, Lorbeerwald und das Paradiestal entlang von Levadas bis Funchal

The hike started in the basket-weaving village of Camacha, a leisurely stroll along the levadas to just beyond the football stadium in Funchal. A lovely view of the harbor, complete with two cruise ships, graced the end of the hike. The sun shone a little less brightly than yesterday, with temperatures around 17 degrees Celsius in the afternoon. The strong …
