Ribeiro Frio is a famous place for its many attractions. Here the visitor will find a beautiful garden that can be visited, a famous trout farm and the departure point for two extraordinary pedestrian routes that are very popular.
As for this route in particular, it is undoubtedly one of the most beautiful in Madeira, where it is possible to appreciate the true natural heritage of this island, as the route is full of endemic species of flora and fauna of Madeira. The magnificent greenery of all the vegetation fills the eyes and soul of walkers, enveloping them in a peaceful and serene environment. The sun's rays, warm and luminous, insist on filtering through the laurel trees and other plants typical of this area.
On this peaceful walk, hikers walk alongside the levada that gently transports the water along the entire route. Trouts can be seen from time to time swimming and trying to hide when they feel our presence. Here and there a finch appears waiting for the generosity of those who pass by, to share a little of their snack.
An otherworldly experience, well worth it.
