Banana Plantations of Funchal

Highlight • Structure

Watch out. When turning into the valley, the path seems to have disappeared: there is a house under construction. But you can go right past the house over a very small path and overgrown levada

Something else - in the midst of banana cultures on a Levada run, that is the levada is covered with large plates :-)

June 26, 2024,Levada dos Piornais

I would do this levada hike at the end of the holiday if you want to find out more about how the greater Funchal area lives and grows. It mostly goes through residential areas with banana plantations scattered throughout. Only at the end does it lead into a quiet valley with great views. We hiked to the tunnel, and then …

October 12, 2023,Madeira - Durch Bananenplantagen - Levada dos Piornais

Short, sharp climb, then almost no elevation gain.
Levadas, similar to the Waalwege in Meraner Land, are water transport routes for irrigation.
Partly open, partly completely covered. Some surefootedness is recommended. Varied path, always new impressions.

Very nice levada hike along the Levada dos Piornais in Funchal with very nice views over the city and insights into the banana plantations and small gardens along the levada. The levada is very well maintained and easy to walk on.

Nevertheless, the path is not entirely without problems and you should always be careful because of the partially unsecured sections and narrow paths. Sure-footedness and a head for heights can't hurt here. Be …

The first part of the hike is quite nice! Nice through the banana plantations past the levada! Then a break at the Igreja de Sao Martinho in the adjacent garden. After that, it only continues on the road! But that's the way it is! 😐
