The Madeira Island is one of the most privileged places in Europe to practice diving where you will have an unforgettable underwater experience. The temperate and crystalline waters of Madeira allow you to dive into its natural reserves and observe cnidarians such as anemones, black corals, moray eels, and even sea lions, the rarest seals in the world.
7thday- Queimadas Levada do Caldeirão Verde/Fajã da Nogueira (18km) 7h walk
This Levada is an impressive work of art built in the XXVIII Century, which crosses abrupt cliffs and mountains and transports the water that flows from the highest mountains of the island. Along the way, you will pass through 4 tunnels excavated by hand, until arriving at the waterfall formed lake of the Caldeirão Verde at 100mt. After resting and delighting in this spectacular natural landscape, it’s time to return.
After resting and delighting in this spectacular natural landscape, it is time to follow Caldeirão do Inferno, a very narrow river gorge, of almost vertical slopes, that resulted from an extreme fluvial process. The path follows along to the power station of Fajã da Nogueira.

Departure from the Bay D’ Abra. Discover a walk of minerals, dikes, and stunning colors. The peninsula is classified as a partial natural reserve and the Desembarcadouro Islet, an integral natural reserve.
Before climbing to the end of the trip you can view the ‘Deserted Islands’ as well as the island of Porto Santo.
Back to the Bay of Abra to transfer to the next trip, the Larano path. The trip is made by the slope overlooking the ocean, on an often narrow and dizzying path.
