Levada do Caldeirão Verde self-guided hike from Funchal with A/C shuttle, WiFi, and scenic tunnels and waterfalls in Laurissilva.
“The drive to the start of the walk through tight narrow roads was an experience in itself, but our driver Vitor got us there safely. The views on the walk were stunning, as was the waterfall at the end. The walk was fairly easy, but some rough ground and narrow walkways with shear drops one side made it exciting at times. It wasn't too hard to get the on-line hiking passes need for the trip.”

Self-guided PR9 Caldeirão Verde hike from Funchal with round-trip transfer, Laurissilva forest paths, and waterfall views.
“The forest and scenery is beautiful! Personally I preferred the 25 Fontes and Risco waterfalls but the Caldeirão Verde waterfall is still pretty (just felt more crowded). If you are a bit anxious about heights just be mindful the last little stretch might make you a bit nervous (worth pushing through though). When it gets busy the paths are tight so letting people past is tricky. Luis was awesome at giving us insights to from the hike.”
Private guided levada walk to Caldeirão Verde from Pico das Pedras with Funchal pickup, UNESCO Laurisilva, VIP transport, and live commentary.
“Our guide, Marco, was wonderful. He picked us up on time and gave lots of information about the levadas and flora and fauna. Caution: The walk is far more challenging than other reviews would lead one to believe. I cannot fault Marco or the experience at all but it was almost too much for me and took about 6 1/2 hours total. If you don't have very good balance or much experience with rough terrain choose an easier walk. Marco was very helpful to me when I struggled and kept emphasizing that we could take all the time we needed.”
