We walk along the Levada da Serra do Faial to Santo da Serra. The road is wide and there is always something to do for the children - to be Levadeiro, to have a boat float in the levada. Enigmatic tree giant roots invite you to climb. At the end it goes into the Parque Ribeira Primeira. Here everyone can catch their own trout. Together, the trout is eaten. But there is also the choice between trout and espetada (meat skewer on laurel).

We start at Boca da Encumeada and walk on the old paved "royal" path, one of the main communication routes between the south and north sides, crossing a part of the central massif.

The easternmost part of the island of Madeira is a nature park with a fantastic panoramic view. Tuff and basalt shimmer in the sunlight and transform the bizarre rock formations. The reflections and lighting moods created by the sun's rays are a great photo opportunity. On the hike through the barren landscape we discover rare plants. The views of the rugged north coast are unforgettable. At the end we climb the elephant's head and have in clear weather a magnificent view of the Dessertas and the neighboring island of Porto Santo.
