Walk Madeira’s Ribeiro Frio to Portela levada through Laurissilva forest, waterfalls, tunnels, and Penha d’Águia views on a small-group tour.

“Following a landslide, only one part of the levada was accessible, the second part being replaced by an uninteresting route. Route in the forest without viewpoints. Very disappointing !”
