You can hear the waterfall pouring into the second tunnel making a huge noise as you near the end of the tunnel

Hiking

The levada tunnel in Madeira Natural Park leads you right through the mountain, accompanied by the echo of your footsteps and the gentle lapping of the water. Inside, a headlamp, caution, and the occasional duck are essential in the cool, damp space – but the experience is truly adventurous. At the tunnel's end, you emerge back into the daylight and are rewarded with sweeping views of the green slopes and valleys of the natural park.
