About this activity

The Levada Rabaçal begins in Paul da Serra, more precisely in Rabaçal. 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. We walk in full Laurissilva Forest, a World Heritage site by UNESCO since 1999. After a few meters of pure beauty we make our first visit to the stunning waterfall of Risco.

All around you can be dazzled by the green beauty of the forest and the sound of nature, the natural heart of Madeira Island

We can enjoy a variety of plant species. Among many species of birds, hopefully we can find the Trocaz Pigeon (columba trocaz trocaz) a unique species of Madeira. In the end we find the 25 Fontes and its beautiful green and fresh lagoon, surrounded by vines and giant ferns.

After appreciate its natural and breathtaking scenery, we go round the same track back.

If you are reasonably fit and enjoy being in nature, do not miss this unique Madeirian experience. We had a terrific guide (Nuno) who not only showed us the way but also taught us a lot about the unique Laurasilva forest and the mechanics of the amazing Levadas. There was a lot of up and down on this walk but it was well worth it.
