13 – Levada Vale Paraíso

The Levada Vale Paraíso is a half-day walk that starts in Choupana, on the outskirts of Funchal, and finishes in Camacha. The water channel we follow is known as Levada da Serra do Faial.

This Levada walk is very easy and flat. The path is quite wide and therefore, it is suitable for almost everyone. 

In the beginning, we will be surprised by the fantastic views over Funchal city. From here we have a different perspective of Madeira’s capital.

Along the way, we will encounter exotic vegetation and large trees such as oaks, pines, and eucalyptus.

We will also observe the typically cultivated terraces and learn about Madeiran agriculture and traditions.

Towards the end of the walk, we will find spectacular views over Camacha village.
