During my family vacation to Madeira in January 2024, we hiked the 'Levada das 25 Fontes' and 'Levada do Risco' with a tour guide. Opting for a guide was necessary due to transportation constraints. The trail showcased local wildlife, Laurissilva forest, Levadas, and featured a thrilling 800-meter tunnel. I thoroughly enjoyed the experience and hope to return for more exploration.

Madeira: Funchal Funicular and Monte Palace Tropical Garden
During our visit to Madeira in January 2024, we enjoyed easy access to Funchal city center from our hotel by walking or taking the public bus. A highlight was the Monte Palace Tropical Garden, accessible via the funicular, offering stunning views and diverse experiences like admiring beautiful trees and flowers, vibrant koi fish, and exotic birds.
