Queimadas Walk

The Madeira Queimadas walk is a must-do for any nature lover visiting the island. Not only does it take you to some of the most remote locations, but it also offers a chance to immerse yourself in the lush and vibrant beauty of the Laurissilva Forest. Setting off from the Queimadas guesthouse, we take the path beside the Levada do Caldeirão Verde and venture into some of the island’s most remote areas.

Hiking through the old Levada do Caldeirão Verde, you will be surrounded by green trees and vegetation stretching as far as the eye can see. Therefore, along the way, you’ll see the north coast from a whole new perspective, and enjoy the peace and tranquility of the area. The walk includes passing through several short tunnels and small waterfalls before arriving at the spectacular Caldeiro Verde waterfall.

The highlight of the walk is undoubtedly the Caldeirão Verde waterfall, which is formed by the waterfall in the area. It’s a breathtaking sight, and the perfect place to stop and take a break before starting your return journey. During the summer months, you can enjoy a swim in the natural pool below the waterfall.

It’s also important to note that the Queimadas walk is one of the most popular on the island, making it an excellent choice for those who want to experience the island’s natural beauty with other visitors. The route is well-trodden and accompanied by one of our experienced guides, you can be sure that you’re in good hands.

All in all, the Madeira Queimadas walk is an unforgettable experience that you won’t want to miss. From the beauty of the Laurissilva Forest to the peace and tranquility of the area, you’ll find yourself captivated by everything that this wonderful walk has to offer.
