On the Levada do Furado from Ribeiro Frio to Portela pass

After a worthwhile detour to the viewpoint Balcões, from where you have a wonderful view of the mountains of Madeira, we return to the Levada do Furado (trout levada). We walk through lush vegetation and dense 'Laurissilva' forest. Again and again we have beautiful views of deep gorges and valleys in the area.
At the end of the hike you will reach the Portela pass.

The tour includes the transfers from / to hotel with the transfer bus.
