Suddenly you are in front of the 400 m steep cliff coast and looks down on the deep blue sea. We saw in the depths in the most impossible places cultivated terraced fields, which could be reached only by extraordinarily adventurous lifts. Unforgettable.

View of Boca do Risco and Porto da Cruz

Highlight • Viewpoint

Cable car 🚡 which is used to transport farmers to reach the cultivated areas on the coast. You can also drive it yourself elsewhere on Madeira. Insanely steep gradient!

Porto da Cruz

Highlight • Settlement

Beautiful village on the island of Madeira. At the foot of the Penha d'Aguia, it is nestled between the cliffs and the mountains. This is one of the common crossing points for all MIUT race formats.

Viewpoint on Porto da Cruz

Highlight • Viewpoint

Along the charming Levada da Portela, it's worth taking a moment to appreciate the landscape: between the hidden corners of the vegetation, this stunning view of Porto da Cruz and its jagged coastline reveals itself, down below, between blue sky and cliffs.

Interesting tour in November with giant ferns, eucalyptus and bay leaf. The last stretch rewarded with many flowers.

Levada do Canical

Highlight • Trail

Madeira's levadas are a true masterpiece of ancient engineering. Created in the 15th century, these stone veins capture water from the humid mountains and carry it, kilometer after kilometer, to the island's drier fields. There are over 2,200 km of canals and 40 km of hand-dug tunnels, many of them in terrain so steep that workers had to be suspended by ropes. It was an epic effort to tame the water and make it flow where it was most needed.

The Levada do Caniçal is a beautiful example of this ingenuity and also offers an incredible view of Machico.
