    Levada walk booked via Madeira Happy Tours. Was pleasantly surprised when a "Nature Meetings" van pulled up to our hotel. Our guide, Mario, was nothing short of amazing. He took notice that I was very interested in the flora and fauna of the area and made it a point to explain the different native plants of the area that were endemic or introduced to the island of Madeira. I very much appreciated his thoughtfulness.

    The walk itself was approx. 13K in length which included the Raba' and Risco Levadas with a stop at the water display of 25 Fontes. The trip had several steps which could be challenging for aged persons with bad knees, BUT - it for us, it was worth each and every single step.

    The day was perfect and we felt as if we had visited paradise.
