Good to know

  • Walk Levada do Moinho first (the higher of the two), then descend to Levada Nova. The steep connecting path is much easier tackled downhill.

  • Southwest-coast location means sunshine when northern and central levadas are fogged in. Keep this route in reserve for overcast days elsewhere on the island.

Trail conditions can change quickly. Always check the linked official source before you go. Sources & methodology Report a data issue
