Description

Levada dos Cedros is one of the water channels that crosses the main island of Madeira. Come and discover its wonderful surroundings on this 1-day hiking program. You will love it!

Our hike will start in one of the most beautiful areas of Fanal where we’ll be surrounded by gorgeous old trees at an altitude of 1,300 meters. From there, we’ll descend until we reach the Levada dos Cedros. On the way, we’ll find the lovely ancient trees typical of the Laurissilva Forest and contemplate breathtaking views of the Ribeira da Janela valley. Apart from the flora, we will have the pleasure to see part of the local fauna, such as the lovely birds.

Regarding the level of difficulty, consider that we’ll cover a distance of around 7 kilometers and face an elevation gain of 300 meters. However, the hike is not very demanding so it’s only necessary to be in good physical shape.

So, would you like to walk along Levada dos Cedros on this 1-day adventure? Then all you have to do is send the request to book your place on this program. I’ll be happy to be your guide and share everything I know about the island with you!

Man

Climbing with guide Guillaume was absolutely a highlight of my 2-week Europe vacation. Originally, we were planning on climbing in the Calanques, but the park was closed due to wind and fire danger. Guillaume chose another amazing location (Pic de Bretagne) based on my climbing abilities and preferences and kindly offered train station pick-up and hotel drop off, which I appreciated very much. The multi-pitch route we did was not only fun but also the right amount of challenge, which I thoroughly enjoyed. The communication from the team (Gauthier) was prompt and clear—highly recommend!

Maxine

Luis Silva was a great climbing guide and belayer! He taught me how to do moves that were difficult and encouraged me to try routes that were challenging for me! Because of his encouragement, I managed to complete these routes! I really enjoyed the climbs and completed 8 routes in the Sesimbra/Azoia area. The weather was perfect, no direct sun and cool enough to enjoy the climbs. Explore-Share made booking an outdoor climbing experience in Lisbon extremely easy. Luis, our guide, was fantastic, and the platform’s organization was flawless.

We had Léo as a guide for our day climb in Fonty. We were blessed with a knowledgeable, warm, and instructive guide. Communication with Léo and Ivan was smooth and swift. Explore-Share was excellent in arranging everything for our day climb. The communication was quick, and the platform was easy to use, making our adventure stress-free.

Patrick was a great guide. He took us on an intermediate Via Ferrata at Passo Sella. Renato was quick to respond with any outreach on the Explore-Share platform. The booking process was straightforward, and once Patrick was confirmed, all went well. It was a wonderful experience, and I’d highly recommend the platform.
