Discover the Magic of Levada do Rei
Join us on a 5.3 km journey through Madeira’s stunning nature. Walk along the levada, surrounded by lush vegetation and exotic plants, until we reach the hidden paradise of Ribeiro Bonito. Here, in the heart of the Laurissilva forest, you’ll experience the island’s natural beauty in its purest form.
On the way back, we’ll stop at the historic Water Mill of São Jorge, still grinding grain after 300 years, powered by the very waters of the Levada.
A 3.5-hour hike, with hotel transfers included—easy, scenic, and unforgettable!
We always hike along the Levada do Rei through dense Laurissilva forest and under old majestic stink laurel trees. Exotic as well as native plants accompany us. Our path ends at the wildly romantic stream bed of the Ribeiro Bonito, a dreamlike spot in the middle of exuberant nature that invites you to linger and relax.
We then visit the approximately 300-year-old grain mill in São Jorge.
