Prazeres Educational Farm

Levada Stepping Stones

Highlight • Bridge

Clearly they’ve thought this out. Crossing is quite easy but do be aware that the stepping stones can be wet so still take care.

Nice, easy hike. A very wide levada. The path is lined with avocado, walnut and tangerine trees. Belladonnas, African lilies, are like bouquets along the side of the road. Her scent hangs in the air. Fantastic.
