A gentle walk with stunning views and a very informative guide who loves the forest and fauna of the island. We stayed as a group for the walk there but allowed to return at our own pace for the return, all the time the guide ensuring our safety.

Eine wunderschöne Levada Wanderung. Die tlw. sehr schmalen Wege entlang der Levada werden am Abgrund für viele Mitwandernde zum Glück durch Bäume und Bewuchs ertragbar. Für die Tunnel sind wasserdichte Wanderschuhe empfehlenswert. Abwechslungsreicher und interessanter als die 25 Quellen. Der Guide beherrschte 5 Sprachen, leider war sein Tempo ziemlich hoch, dadurch Gaby es selten Möglichkeiten die Natur zu bewundern. Die Strecke von 13 km kam uns länger vor. Leider sind Hin- und Rückweg gleich.

Allt var välordnat, bra guide, var en del farliga moment, hanterades utmärkt av guiden men bitvis var inte vandringsleden helt säker, vilket den ju inte kan vara. Guiden gjorde ett fantastiskt jobb, var engagerad och ville verkligen förmedla det otroliga jobb som ligger bakom levadorna finns och vilken enorm betydelse de haft för Madeira

Nat Geo Day Tour: Local Farm Experience on Madeira’s Terraced Hills
Drive through Funchal's bustling town and Madeira's magnificent rolling hills towards Quinta Pedagogica da Camacha, a small farm committed to sustainable agriculture. Here, your National Geographic-trained guide will offer insights into the region and introduce you to the farm's owner, Bruno Santos. Having left accounting for agriculture, Bruno now dedicates his life to helping his neighborhood through sustainable farming, a lowered environmental footprint, and community outreach. Follow Bruno through flowering groves as you explore the grounds. You'll learn about the many uses for their freshly grown herbs and visit their strawberry plantation. Observe the fields and poios—what Madeirans call the terraced areas where they grow their crops—as you learn about the farm's produce and animal husbandry. The farm is home to various animals including chickens, goats, sheep, and more. There's even a small market Bruno created, to help other local vendors reach their greater community, inspired by the ‘buy local' mantra. You'll also experience a host of seasonal activities, offered exclusively to National Geographic travelers. Harvest ripe fruits and learn the proper techniques for sowing seeds in a planting workshop. This hands-on learning environment brings Bruno's sustainability and bio-friendly philosophy to life. Afterwards, you'll relax and enjoy refreshing tea brewed from the farm's own herbs, as well as homemade cakes, toast, and jams preserved from local fruits.
