About the trip
This seven-night walking tour with Explore Worldwide begins in Santana, a village noted for its traditional thatched houses and Madeira embroidery. From there, the group moves along levada paths—irrigation canals unique to the island—that thread through forest and farmland, offering views of rare birds and the Atlantic coastline. On one day, the route climbs to Boca do Risco, a cliff-top viewpoint, before winding down to the seaside settlement of Porto da Cruz.
