Activities Walks

Considered by many outdoor activity enthusiasts as "the walkers' paradise", Madeira has a wide variety of activities comprising diverse modalities. One of them is walks, a way of knowing deep Madeira, and which can adapt to preferences and physical capacities. From the tranquil half-day walk along flat levadas that can be done comfortably, up to the most challenging mountain tracks.

Levadas are irrigation channels that cross the island top to bottom. They were built as a mans of carrying water that exists is larger quantities in the North were rainfall is higher in average, to the most populated South where farming is, still nowadays, a living pattern. On a second stage, around the middle of the XXth century, larger levadas were built with the purpose of producing hydro power, thus complementing the island energetic needs. Both old and contemporary levadas are a excellent way of visiting areas inside the island that would be otherwise difficult to reach. In some cases we are deep inside remote parts of the island, in other ons we can witness some agricultural activity, giving us a panorama of rural madeiran life brought into our very days, as if we were watching a live theatre.

Our partners have the comfort, well-being as well as safety of the clients in the utmost consideration. The guides are officially certified by the Regional Department of Tourism and Transports, entity heading the sector. Safety rules are properly accomplished, and it is for example because of those, that walks are classified according to the difficulty rate, in easy, moderate and challenging. Some last all day while other only a morning or afternoon.
