Levada Trail

Highlight • Trail

Arrive early. Usually very crowded. It takes a while until everyone has taken their photos.

Levada do Alecrim Water Slide

Highlight • Waterfall

The only climb on the Rosmarin-Levada, a steep staircase lets us go against the current. A strange feeling of climbing up a staircase while the Levada water rushes towards you.

Cascatinhas Waterfall

Highlight • Waterfall

If you're not careful, you might even walk right past it. Just walk a few steps over the concrete section, and then you'll see this amazing view.
