Madeira: Levadas & Knife‑Edge Peaks
Last updated: July 31, 2025
Water channels under laurel, balconies above cloud, and grills at night.
Levada Walk (Shaded)
Choose a popular route early; keep to the inner edge; listen for birds and water.
Peak Ridge (Short)
A short section of PR1 for cliff light and cloud rivers—turn back before crowds.
Practical & Bases
- Base: Funchal + a night near the central highlands.
- Safety: narrow paths—use caution; weather shifts fast on ridges.
