Description

Explore Caldeirão Verde on a full-day guided hike starting at the Queimadas guesthouse in Santana — one of Madeira’s most iconic levada walks.

Follow lush Laurisilva forest paths with wide valley views, then pass through short tunnels that add an adventurous touch to the route. The highlight is the Caldeirão Verde waterfall, where crystal-clear water drops into a peaceful lagoon — a perfect spot to pause, take photos, and enjoy a picnic.

A classic Madeira walk that blends forest atmosphere, levada paths, and a dramatic waterfall finish.
