    Running

    It's definitely worth walking through the tunnels (only with a lamp). Afterwards you feel like you have arrived in Jurassic Park.

    Running

    This section of the Levada do Norte has as its main characteristic two long and narrow tunnels. In rainy seasons, high water levels are almost guaranteed. Flashlight is a mandatory item.

    Running

    The tunnel on the Levada do Norte (PR17) route takes you right through the mountain, adding a real sense of adventure to the hike. Your footsteps echo inside the cool, damp tunnel, while the levada gently babbles beside you – a headlamp or phone light is essential here. At the end of the tunnel, you emerge back into the daylight and are rewarded with breathtaking views of the surrounding slopes and valleys.
