PR9 – Caldeirão Verde Levada Walk TRANSFER (Return Included)

One of the most popular levada walks in the east of Madeira.

A beautiful and lush Laurissilva forest walk in which you will find the “Caldeirão Verde” lagoon, formed by a waterfall of about 100 meters.

Along the walk, you will pass through four tunnels a few minutes long. A torch will be needed.

But outside them, it is easy to understand why is it called “the green cauldron”.

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

Your transfer includes pick-up and drop-off at your door. Anywhere in Funchal* or Caniço is possible.

Only for this service, pick-up is also possible at: Gaula, Santa Cruz, Machico, Porto da Cruz, Faial and Santana. Maybe not at your door but in a central location not far diverted from our route. Please consult before booking.

We will pick you at the set time after the walk to bring you back to your accommodation or arranged point.
