Day 2: The life of the locals on the south coast of Madeira
Our hike on the Levada do Norte leads to Cabo Girão, the highest cliff in Europe, where you can expect spectacular views.

Day 3: Hike through the wild west of Madeira
The lonely Levada hike to the origin of the Levada dos Cedros is a real insider tip. The laurel trees covered with moss and lichen in the cloud forest near Fanal are the oldest in Madeira. A mysterious magic surrounds these old stink laurel trees. Spend the afternoon in the idyllic village of Porto Moniz, where you can take a dip in the seawater swimming pools or explore the underwater world of the island in the aquarium with your feet dry.
