Initiating from Queimadas Forestry Park, this is a return journey that traverses some astonishingly sharp grades, offering one of the best ways to explore the São Jorge brook’s profound valley on foot. It is necessary to carry a flashlight as the journey includes traversing through a tunnel.
Caldeirão Verde’s levada, a remarkable 18th-century creation, commences at the heart of Caldeirão Verde brook’s bed. As it snakes through precipitous cliffs and mountains, it transports water that trickles from Madeira’s loftiest peaks, supplying it for the agricultural requirements of the Faial parish.
Once you navigate through the route’s four tunnels, Caldeirão Verde reveals itself to the levada’s left.
Formed by water cascading from the bed of the Caldeirão Verde stream bed from an approximate elevation of 100m, the Caldeirão Verde lake is astounding.
- Not recommended for travelers with severe claustrophobia (tunnels).
