Levada Calderao Verde, the wet cauldron, Madeira, Portugal
Info and photos at Walkopedia page:
This has to be one of Madeira’s most thrilling levadas, evolving from gentle, green beginnings to visual fireworks high above the monstrous Ribeira Grande.
Your delightful destination is the damp, mossy, ferny Caldeirão Verde below a 100m cliff with a thin waterfall splashing down into the pool at the bottom.
Continuing to the extraordinary Caldeirão do Inferno.

Madeira Levada do Caldeirão Verde 13 Km. Back & Forth walked
Levada do Caldeirão Verde: Lush vegetation, abundant water, natural tunnels and fantastic views are some of the attractions of this sought after levada.
The Levada round trip from Queimadas to the green cauldron Caldeirão Verde starts near Santana at about 900 m altitude. It is one of the most spectacular (and most popular) levada walks.
Along this levada, the water created imposing gorges and a jungle-like vegetation. The tour is described as demanding in many tour guides: This is a bit exaggerated and refers at most to the length of the tour and the steep slopes in some places, but which are secured by wire. The tour starts at the idyllic picnic parking lot and leads through an almost mystical coniferous forest with oversized hydrangeas. Laurel trees, tree heaths and small flower carpet on the damp walls and along the tiny streams characterize the picture.
The high humidity makes moss grow everywhere and different mushrooms stick their heads out of the soft ground. You will also discover ferns and old trees with lichen. There are views of Santana and Pico Ruivo. You reach a tunnel (about 50 meters), which is to be crossed (torch and rain protection necessary, since it is stockfinster and from the walls drips). The goal is the kettle with high walls, covered with ferns, from which a waterfall of 100 m height falls into the depth and forms at the foot a small lake. The water is mostly refreshing cool and a long bathing stay rather unlikely.
The landscape is however so enchanting, and invites you to stay longer. Even if it goes the same way, the landscape now appears in a different light and offers new photographs from the new perspective.
Walking time back and forth approx. 4.5 hrs.

I recommend this Levada as long your not afraid of heights. It gave me a real feeling of being alone amongst Mother Nature.

Levada do Caldeirão Verde
This is a small film of part of the levada do Caldeirão Verde in Madeira (on our way back).
Didn't film the green cauldron to not spoil the surprise.
NOTE: if you ever go there don't forget to take a good flash light, there are lots of dark wet tunnels.
Nuns Valley Madeira Island Portugal
At the centre of Madeira Island where dramatic cloud-topped mountains descend to verdant valleys in a most spectacular way.
Make your way up to Eira do Serrado where you will find one of the most exclusive and beautiful views, not to mention a great green location unlike any other in Madeira.
The journey down to the Nuns Valley (Curral das Freiras) village takes approximately 20 minutes where you will enjoy the countryside, forest brushes mixed with populated areas with quaint houses typical of the Madeiran society.
Down on Nun's Valley, you will immediately see a small village nestling between almost perpendicular mountains in the heart of the island.
The huge cauldron in which Nun's Valley is sitting was either formed by erosion, which is the more recent theory, or as many still believe, by volcanic activity. The village is very isolated and locals mainly live off what they cultivate. The local chestnuts are delicious and are used in everyday cooking. Every year locals celebrate the 'Chestnut Festival' for which the village is famous.
