Levadas on Rabaçal are undoubtedly one of the most sought-after attractions among tourists visiting Madeira. With its lush greenery and tranquil forest trails, it’s no surprise that these levadas are a top pick for nature enthusiasts. However, during the morning period, the trails can become crowded, particularly with guided tours and large groups of visitors. For those who prefer a more serene and immersive experience, we recommend visiting in the afternoon after lunch. This is an excellent time to soak up the natural beauty of the area without the hustle and bustle of large crowds. Plus, the cooler temperatures during this time make for a more comfortable hiking experience.
