Levada do Caniçal Trail

Highlight • Trail

A small, inconspicuous path leads steeply directly to the Levada. Always keep right and take the trail past some gardens.

Nice view of the terraced fields of Machico, farming is a hard trade here.

Yellow Ridge

Highlight • Viewpoint

Suddenly you are in front of the 400 m steep cliff coast and looks down on the deep blue sea. We saw in the depths in the most impossible places cultivated terraced fields, which could be reached only by extraordinarily adventurous lifts. Unforgettable.
