Highlights
- Pico Fernandes - The valley of Rabaçal is one of nature’s greatest exultations here in Madeira Island. Descending from the plateau of Paúl da Serra, we arrive at the Rabaçal guest house from where we walk to the Risco waterfall. We then descend to the Levada of 25 Fontes and walk along the maintenance path. After a while we reach a small lake at the bottom of a cliff which towers above us, from the cliff face, 25 natural springs cascade into the small lake. Walking back to our vehicles we go through a tunnel which takes the water to the south of the island.

Wonderful hikes and the best guides ever. - If you would go on a hike in Madeira, this is the best team to pick. I have been on three hikes this week, and seen plenty of beautiful places plus learned a lot about this special island thanks to the excellent guides.
Emilque and Jorge (sorry if I spell your names wrong) are skilled, fluent in several languages, easygoing and makes you want to know about Madeira
I plan on coming back, and I will chose these guides over any other.

Very Good Levada Hike in Madeira - The Risco + 25 fountains trail starts from a parking near the main road, from which you will go done on a steep paved road for an elevation drop of 400 meters ...
This will be waiting for you on the way back ! - Be prepared ... :-)
The trail itself is at mid level difficulty with steep stair up and down and some very narrow path above the cliff. most likely you will have to walk in water part of the time , so bring suitable hiking shoes - NO flip-flops !!!
The Risco waterfall in much more impressing than the 25 fontain ( in my view), and the walk along the Levada is nice - gives you the idea how water is managed all over the island.
All in all it is about 6 hours walk , including a stop for cake & coffee/beer on the way back, at the well located mountain canteen.
Most important: be sure to select a non-rainy day for this hike !

Good walks - Good company. Did the 25fontes and the paradise walks with them. They operate a separate driver and guide-other companies don't. Guides and drivers very personable. Both walks are great. Only downside is that their website wouldn't work to book other walks and will not book thro Tui again
