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.

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.
