After strolling through an area of remarkable beauty, we reach our first destination - the awe-inspiring Risco waterfall. A brief halt at the Risco balcony gives us the chance to take in the scenery before we continue on our journey.
Throughout the walk, you’ll be mesmerized by the lush greenery of the forest and the calming sounds of nature that define the heart of Madeira Island. The area boasts a multitude of plant species including the Tree Heather, Besom Heath, and Madeira Bilberry.
Keep an eye out for various bird species, as with some luck we might come across the Trocaz Pigeon, a species endemic to Madeira.
Our final destination is the 25 Fontes with its stunning green lagoon, which is nestled amidst vines and colossal ferns.
