November 11, 2021,🇵🇹 Boca da Risco – von Machico

Parking is only possible to a very limited extent - left and right on the roadside. The entrance to the Lebada can be recognized by a small plaque. Unfortunately the path is very muddy and overgrown - at least on 11/11/202. Therefore, the option to walk from the Miradouro do Cabo de Lorano hiking car park to Boca da Brisco …

Fantastic hike! The Levada is pretty beautiful at the beginning, along the plantations and the path along the cliffs, just beautiful!

February 9, 2025,Boca do Risco – Schöne Klippen Runde von Barro

A great tour that has everything. Levada hiking, alpine trails, panoramic path with cliffs and a successful mix of rocky and wooded terrain.
Highly recommended, even for untrained people and children, assuming a certain level of surefootedness.
