Ribeiro Frio Levada and Stone House

Highlight • Trail

Nice point where you think the PR10 is finished, but the most beautiful point is the garden just 300 meters down to the left. Best place to stop

September 18, 2024,Levada da Serra do Faial, Richtung Portela ca.15 km

Very relaxed hike. Only met 3 people. Very beautiful, varied nature. It smells incredibly good. You can also go when it's raining. The forest is pretty dense.

Farewell hike again encouraged by the great hiking guide by Ralf Götz. The first half along the dry Levada da Serra, always on wide paths, later like through a fairytale forest. At one point logs block the path, but there is an alternative path a little lower. At the end, the best poncha in Madeira at Bar Portela à Vista. …

Take bus line 77 to the Sito das Quatro Estradas stop, a stretch of road, and then just through the forest. The Levada is no longer used, it is only used in the last piece. All paths are good to go, just not when it is raining or has rained! We had huge puddles of water on the way, sturdy, …

A hike that starts off rather boring, but as it continues it becomes quite beautiful, especially the views. Highly recommended on sunny, hot days, as it is very shady. The scent of the eucalyptus is intoxicating (but don't think about the smell or taste of the sweets). At the destination, Portela, we took a taxi back to the starting point.
