Bica da Cana Sunrise & 25 Fontes Waterfall

Bica da Cana viewpoint is one of the amazing sunrise viewpoints in Madeira. Also known as Miradouro Bica da Cana, this place at a height of 1,560m above sea-level will blow your mind. With views on the highest peaks of Madeira Island and continues changing weather, Bica da Cana will always deliver different views. I went many times to Bica da Cana in the 6 months I lived on Madeira and were treated with a different view each time. Absolutely stunning.

25 Fontes Waterfall & Risco Waterfall

On this hike, you’re going to be surrounded by a lush, green mountain range in the center of Madeira where you’ll find blueberry and dandelion bushes bigger than humans. 

The Levada das 25 Fontes is arguably the most popular hike on the island of Madeira, the iconic levada trail that leads hikers to the 25 fountains.

Firstly, let’s explain what Levadas are exactly. The term is known all around the island and very specific to Madeira. Levadas are basically a man-made irrigation system that spreads all over the island of Madeira.

The total distance of the Levada das 25 Fontes hiking trail was 11-kilometers out and back in total. There’s 300m of incline to handle, it will take around 4hrs depending on how long we want to relax and enjoy nature around us.
