Additional Information

The Rabaçal 25 Fontes trek is stunning due to its rich diversity of green flora that can be observed, including the renowned Levadas of Madeira Island.

Levadas are essentially water channels, and this happens to be among the most well-known on the entire island due to its striking landscapes and memorable experiences that will linger in the minds of those who traverse this Levada. Commencing from Rabaçal, you will encounter a vast range of native Madeiran flora and fauna species.

The journey through the heart of the Laurissilva forest, via the irrigation canals that lead to the lagoon from the 25 Fontes, serves as the most picturesque point of the entire trek, featuring a magnificent waterfall cascading into a petite lagoon. This Levada is one of the most popular across the whole island due to the memorable landscapes and feelings experienced throughout the trek.

A fairly easy walk with amazing views and waterfalls - A fab walk , with a few stros tk climb , amazing scenery all the way. Beautiful flowers and waterfalls. A long dark tunnel at the starts, so bring a torch and warm top/ waterproof jkt and good walking shoes. No toilets, no food so go prepared.

Perfect!! - An absolutely beautiful and diverse place to explore, been the best by far excursion I’ve ever been on. We had an amazing and very accomplished tour/mountain guide called Tiago, he was extremely knowledgeable and hospitable. When we return we will definitely book with him again so we can explore more of the Island. It’s a must!

Outstanding service - I found this company on Google while searching for hikes. Most places only do for a maximum of 8 people but this company was very happy to accommodate our group of 10 . I did the booking after communicating through WhatsApp and paid a deposit rest was paid on the day of the hike. The guide and driver were both excellent. Walter and Elvio did a fabulous job. My husband was struggling due to knee issues and Walter looked after him so well. He was so patient and hiked with him all along the way

Great hike with supportive and highly experienced guide. - Our Mountain Guide Tiago made the whole experience perfect. He is professional, approachable, and supportive. I am 81 years old and an experienced hiker from Canada. This hike was an adventure yet safe. Gorgeous scenery, adventurous walk through the tunnel, and the waterfalls for lunch. I would recommend this hike and especially Tiago as your guide. His primary focus is safety while having a fun experience. He cares about his tourists. Highly recommended.

Going in a small group with a great guide makes all the difference! - We enjoyed going with a small group of 6 with our fantastic guide, Luis Fernandes. We were surrounded by nature and could appreciate the sights, sounds, and smells of this fabulous natural spot in a way that would not have been possible with a bigger tour group. Luis gave us a lot of useful info on the landscapes and plants we were viewing. I wouldn’t do Rabaçal any other way!

Just book it’s a great walk with fab guide - Great day out with our guide Tiago. Really knowledgeable re the island and the hiking in the area. Group of 8 most over 55 yrs . Tiago was a great guide and got us to the main feature ahead of the crowds. The day was finished off at a real poncha bar, a lovely day walking , always felt safe and in good hands and so glad went in a small group.

Beautiful! - Peaceful walk where we can enjoy the beauty of nature along the route. Pedro was a fantastic guide, always clarifying all questions along the way. And on the way back we managed to visit Risco. Very pleasant and recommended experience.

A discovery - A very nice hike in a small group, very friendly like the guide. A few stairs and a bit of climbing but without difficulty. Magnificent waterfalls, you have to do at least one levada in Madeira, it’s just magnificent
