Madeira Caldeirao Verde & Queimadas Walking Tour

4.4/5
174 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 Tour hat uns sehr gut gefallen.Maria, unser Guide, hat uns pünktlich abgeholt und fahrsicher über die kurvenreiche Strecke zum Ziel gebracht. unser Gruppe bestand aus 15 Personen, um die sich Maria gut gekümmert hat. Es ist zwar eine leichte Wanderung, trotzdem muss man den ganzen Weg über aufmerksam sein, da die Strecke durch Wurzeln und Steine sehr uneben ist. Extreme Höhenangst darf man nicht haben. Die Caldeirao Verde und Queimadas Tour können wir sehr empfehlen.

    Es war für uns die schönste Levada-Wanderung auf Madeira.

    Die Wanderführerin Maria war top, nur schade, dass ich zu langsam war und eventuelle Erklärungen nicht mitbekommen habe! Leider sehr überlaufene Tour!

    Maria war unser Guide. Super lieb und immer auf Sicherheit bedacht Tour ist anspruchsvoll, lange und am grünen Kessel hatte man dur 30min Aufenthalt. Man ist viel am laufen.
