The Island of Madeira is famous for its “Levada” walks. Levadas are man made water courses, that follow the contours of the very steep hillsides of Madeira so that the hillside farmers can irrigate their terraces. This levada is the Levada do Caniço.
The walk is one of the best for an all round experience. It is not too long, it is easy to get to from the capital Funchal. It has a waterfall, a tunnel, caves and enough high and exposed places to make it interesting, and the scenery of the Porto Novo valley is stunning.
There is a steep and winding climb from Camacha down to the Levada, and a steep walk down to the bus stop in Assomada, after the Levada.

The trailhead is at Camacha, which you can get to from Funchal, by a number 29 bus of the EACL bus company. The start is at a road that leaves the central square signposted “Assomada / Canico”.
The walk ends at the church in Assomada, the bus stop is about 100mtr east of the church opposite the school.
Return by any bus that comes along the coast road to Funchal.
