Levada Das Queimadas

The 2.1Km and 1h30-minute levada route, offers people with motor and visual disabilities to enjoy direct contact with nature, unfolding along the levada do Caldeirão Verde.

This trail unfolds along the esplanade of the Levada do Caldeirão Verde between the Forest Parks of Queimadas and Pico das Pedras, in the municipality of Santana.

Along the way it is possible to follow a forest spot of transition between the natural forest of Madeira (Laurissilva forest) and the exotic forest (trees introduced by man on this island).

The sound of water in permanent running, the smell of wet earth, the characteristic humidity of the forest and the heat of the sun when it crosses, awaken all the senses, leading the walker to deep contact with the natural space.

In the Queimadas Forest Park is the Queimadas Shelter House, a house that maintains the original characteristics of the Typical Houses of Santana, featuring a spectacular thatched roof.123
