Madeira - Wonderful walking

Our final day walking was amazing we drove to Queimadas in the north if the island and again walked along the levada, the forest at the beginning of the walk is some of the oldest in Madeira.

The views were amazing and walk along the wall of the leveda was often less than 1ft wide with over a 100m drop just the other side of the not very substantial hand rail.

Off into the mountains

There were also tunnels through the cliffs some of which were over 2/300m long so we needed our torches and you were definitely keen to see the light at the end of the tunnel.

Torch in hand and into the darkness

Wow we can see the end

There were 2 waterfalls on the walk but at the first there were so many people it was a bit spoilt but we walked on about another 2km mainly up hundreds of steps to reach the second which was actually multiple falls and most people did not make it but it was worth the walk.
