Levada da Fajã do Rodrigues

Adventurous tunnel tour through evergreen laurel forest jungleThe levada in the upper reaches of the São Vicente valley provides access to one of the most secluded corners of Madeira. It would actually be a red route if it weren"t for the first very narrow tunnel, which would have a good chance of being one of the top places in a ranking of the "nastiest tunnels on the island". Incidentally, you don"t have to go all the way to the source of the levada at the Ribeira do Inferno, the river of hell, as you can also get a good impression of the lush vegetation of the laurel forest up to the turning point before the long last tunnel.
