Good first hike - We did this hike, which is also known as PR6, on a week day. We arrived at the car park ~08:30am, early enough to avoid the crowds. Although the hike is ~4.5km, you need to walk for ~2km down a path before descending to the lagoon. You know you are at the right point to descend to the lagoon when you see a cafe. The descent to the lagoon is ~2.5km. We completed the route from the car park and back in ~3 hours. I'd recommend doing this hike as early in the day as possible because the lagoon is quite small and crowds do start forming from 10am onwards. A mini bus runs down the 2km path between the cafe and the car park. We didn't use it in the morning as the service starts at 9am. There are toilets near the cafe, but you will need a 50cent coin to use it.

Great easy walk with a great guide - Great easy walk to start the holiday. Long but suitable for all ages with great views. Couple of moments you’re very high so be cautious if afraid of heights.

Excellent, relaxing walk. - Great views of waterfalls and the surrounding mountains. Mostly shaded walkways running next to the levadas. Excellent guide with knowledge of most of the local flora. Not too tough physically.

I recommend this hali day tour. You should have goretex shoes and light with you. Those will make your walk nicer. - Beautiful nature and views. Small group is nice way to do Levada walks. Our Guide Pedro was also nice person who was not bored with guide work.

Great hike - The trip was fantastic and the guide was wonderful. It should be noted that once the hike starts there are no restrooms and the stairs are slippery. The views are amazing and should not be missed

Levada can be a little overrated. - Very beautiful levada, unfortunately very busy. Lots of stairs and a fun ending in an 800m tunnel.
