PR6 – 25 Fontes Levada Walk TRANSFER (Return Included)

One of the most popular levada walks in Madeira island.

A beautiful and lush Laurissilva forest walk in which you will find the “25 Fontes” lagoon, the “Risco” waterfall and views of Ribeira da Janela valley.

A common mistake is to think that there are 25 waterfalls in this walk.

The “25 Fontes” name comes from the fact that the lagoon is formed by 25 water spring sources coming down from the mountains of “Paul da Serra”.

Shared transfer on schedule.
Vehicle: 9 seater minivan (driver + 8 customers).
A/C in all rows. Comfortable, clean and new minivans.

Only for this service, pick-up is also possible at: Câmara de Lobos, Ribeira Brava, Ponta Do Sol and Calheta. Maybe not at your door but in a central location not far diverted from our route. Please consult before booking.
