On the Levada do Furado from Ribeiro Frio to the trout farm Parque Ribeira Primeira

Mondays and Tuesdays from Ribeiro Frio to Portela ↓ ca. 260 hm

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 Parque Ribeira Primeira. Optionally, everyone can catch their own trout here. Together, the trout can be eaten. But there is also the choice between trout and espetada (meat on laurel skewer). € 15 per person.
On Mondays and Tuesdays our hike ends in Portela, where we can taste the delicious Espetada.

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