Rabaçal is considered to be one of the most astonishing places to hike in Madeira island. Undoubtedly, the walk between Rabaçal and the 25 fountains allows you to enjoy the sheer beauty of the mysterious island.
We operate in full Laurissilva Forest, a World Heritage site. From this point, we can observe one of the most beautiful valleys of Madeira, the Rabaçal Valley and down to the Forest House of Rabaçal. The Levada Rabaçal begins in Paul da Serra, more precisely in Calheta.
After a few meters of pure beauty, we make our first visit to the stunning waterfall of Risco. After a break in the Risco balcony, we follow our path. All around you can be dazzled by the green beauty of the forest and the sounds of nature, the natural heart of Madeira Island! We can enjoy a variety of plant species and listen to the water running along the Levada walk.
In the end of the Rabaçal Levada walk, we reach to the 25 Fontes. Just at the beginning of the route, there are some stairs that might be harder to overcome, but later the path is very pleasant so you can enjoy the wonderful views of beautiful green and fresh lagoon, surrounded by giant ferns. After appreciating its natural and breathtaking scenery, we go round the same track back.
