ABOUT THIS WALK

The Lagoa do Vento is a different walk especially for those who want to unleash their spirit of adventure and explore the hidden places of Madeira Island!
The trail starts at Levada do Alecrim, in the area of Rabaçal. Follow the course of the levada until you get to a detour to the path that will take you to Lagoa do Vento.

Enjoy the panoramic views from the several viewpoints than you find along the trail.
Continue down until you reach the magnificent lagoon Lagoa do Vento. The immensity, serenity and beauty of this lagoon make of this place an inspiring place! Here you will find yourself at the top of the Risco waterfall.
