Description

Discover a fairy tale spot on this 1-day hike in the Levada de Caldeirão Verde, one of the most famous levadas in the Madeira Island. You won’t regret your choice!

The levadas of Madeira Island are aqueducts made to irrigate the agricultural lands of the island. There are about 1,400 meters of levadas and some cross incredible landscapes with mountains, tunnels and cliffs. These constructions allow us to discover wonderful places and offer us a unique hiking experience.

Our hike will begin in the Queimadas Forest Park, within the municipality of Santana. During the walk, we’ll cross steep terrain with mountains, tunnels and slopes. We’ll spend 3-5 hours hiking and face an altitude of 800-900 meters. Therefore, keep in mind it’s important to be physically fit.

On the way, we’ll find a refuge that features the typical architecture of the island. Also, we’ll get to see part of the diverse local flora, such as cedar and beech trees. Furthermore, we’ll visit the stunning Caldeirão Verde waterfall.

So does this hiking program sound exciting to you? Then don’t miss this fantastic opportunity! You won’t find an adventure like this one every day. Please, send the request and make your reservation.

Climbing with guide Guillaume was absolutely a highlight of my 2-week Europe vacation. Originally, we were planning on climbing in the Calanques, but the park was closed due to wind and fire danger. Guillaume chose another amazing location (Pic de Bretagne) based on my climbing abilities and preferences and kindly offered train station pick-up and hotel drop off, which I appreciated very much. The multi-pitch route we did was not only fun but also the right amount of challenge, which I thoroughly enjoyed. The communication from the team (Gauthier) was prompt and clear—highly recommend!

Luis Silva was a great climbing guide and belayer! He taught me how to do moves that were difficult and encouraged me to try routes that were challenging for me! Because of his encouragement, I managed to complete these routes! I really enjoyed the climbs and completed 8 routes in the Sesimbra/Azoia area. The weather was perfect, no direct sun and cool enough to enjoy the climbs. Explore-Share made booking an outdoor climbing experience in Lisbon extremely easy. Luis, our guide, was fantastic, and the platform’s organization was flawless.

We had Léo as a guide for our day climb in Fonty. We were blessed with a knowledgeable, warm, and instructive guide. Communication with Léo and Ivan was smooth and swift. Explore-Share was excellent in arranging everything for our day climb. The communication was quick, and the platform was easy to use, making our adventure stress-free.

Patrick was a great guide. He took us on an intermediate Via Ferrata at Passo Sella. Renato was quick to respond with any outreach on the Explore-Share platform. The booking process was straightforward, and once Patrick was confirmed, all went well. It was a wonderful experience, and I’d highly recommend the platform.
