The hike was excellent, as a first time solo traveler I was a little nervous but everything was easy and I felt at ease with our lovely guide Maria. She provided insight into the history of the levadas, local wildlife, and was more than happy to answer questions. We had time to explore areas on our own and it was nice to get chatting to some of the others in the group. Overall it was a wonderful day and I would highly recommend to other solo travelers or people looking to explore Madeira for the first time.

Despite some rain we had a wonderful day with excellent & knowledgeable guide Maria from whom we learned so much about the history of the levadas, & about Madeira’s plants & birds. Definitely a good idea to bring waterproofs, & a walking pole was helpful on some of the downward steps.
