Caldeirão Verde

Caldeirão Verde is one of Madeira’s most scenic hikes, taking adventurers through the island’s UNESCO-protected Laurisilva forest, a paradise of rich greenery and endemic species. The trail meanders along levadas (irrigation channels) through tunnels and over bridges, offering dramatic views of the surrounding mountains and valleys. The highlight of the hike is the magnificent Caldeirão Verde waterfall, where water cascades into a tranquil pool surrounded by moss-covered rocks and verdant foliage. This refreshing and awe-inspiring destination is perfect for nature lovers and those seeking a peaceful retreat into Madeira’s lush, unspoiled wilderness.
