PR18 Levada do Rei - One of the Most Beautiful Levadas in Madeira Island

In this video we're going to walk the very famous Levada do Rei, early in the morning, with no humans around but surrounded by chaffinch! 🤣
"Levada do Rei, 5.3 km (+ 5.3 km return) long, will take you to discover the exuberant nature of the island, until you reach a singular place considered a natural sanctuary.
The walk takes about 3:30 hours and is considered of moderate difficulty.
The starting point of Levada do Rei is located at the Water Treatment Plant of Quebradas, in São Jorge. First you will cross an exotic forest area where it is possible to observe the typical agricultural landscapes of São Jorge and Santana.
Along the way, you will also be able to contemplate the tunnels formed by the diverse vegetation in this area.
The green landscape that embellishes Levada do Rei is made possible by the great abundance of water here.
However, the most special moment of the walk is saved for the arrival at Ribeiro Bonito, an isolated natural sanctuary covered by the dense vegetation characteristic of the Laurissilva forest."

Какая красота !!! Просто восхитительно!😊Такое чувство ,что ты где то в джунглях Амазонки ! А эта вода,которая поливает тебя сверху.... Сколько же водопадов на Мадейре ?! Так интересно :откуда они берутся ,ведь там нет ледников и снега на вершинах гор?😅

[@madeiraislander]

Спасибо, Светлана! 🤩 Рад что вам понравилось! Да, здесь много водопадов, я не знаю, откуда берется вода, но вода течет каждый день, это невероятно, лол. 😂 То же самое происходит и с левадами, они каждый день носят воду! Я желаю вам счастливого нового года! 🤗😁
