Madeira Caldeirao Verde & Queimadas Walking Tour

4.4/5
160 reviews

Emerald green landscapes characterise this hike to some of the most remote areas on Madeira. You'll walk along the Caldeirão Verde levada through mystical laurel forests to the spectacular waterfall at the end of the path. With mystifying views over the north coast and more greenery than you could imagine, this walk is not to be missed.

You'll set off on foot with your guide from the Queimadas guesthouse, and with 13km of just nature and scenery before you, you're guaranteed pure serenity during this four-and-a-half-hour-long hike. We'll follow the Caldeirão Verde levada through a green paradise with laurel trees providing cool shade and the sun peeping through the treetops.

Villages will appear dotted below in the lush green valleys and from here you'll catch your first glimpse of the Caldeirão Verde waterfall. You'll walk through a series of tunnels and soon arrive at the majestic waterfall where you'll be able to rest your legs and soak up the atmosphere before heading back to your hotel.

    Die Landschaft und die Wanderung war sehr schön. Aber am Wasserfall hätte ich einen längeren Halt gewünscht.

    Unser Tour Guide Maria war sympathisch und lustig. Vor der Wander-Tour wäre es super gewesen, wenn man gewusst hätte, dass mehrere dunkle und niedrige Tunnel zu bewältigen sind. Wichtig zu erwähnen wäre, dass man erst in der Mitte, wenn man sozusagen am Ziel am Wasserfall angekommen ist, seine Blase entleeren kann, dies jedoch auf eigene Gefahr. Insgesamt war die Wanderroute jedoch sehr schön und empfehlenswert.

    Der Guide, Spitzname Ali, war ein sehr freundlicher Guide. Er war witzig und sehr umgänglich, ein Herr der alten Schule. Da man sich nicht verlaufen kann, konnten wir uns von der Gruppe lösen und im eigenen Tempo die Wanderung und die Landschaft genießen. Ein Guide ist nicht zwingend erforderlich aber unterhaltsam und lehrreich
