Quinta do Palheiro Ferreiro Estate and Levada Walking Tour

Visit the magnificent estate of Quinta do Palheiro Ferreiro to appreciate the trees and flowers of this unique garden. The estate also offers great views over Funchal.

Continue on to Levada for a delightful 45 minute walk along the irrigation channel - a treat for all ages. Levada is a Portuguese word derived from the word "levar" which means to carry and roughly translated as "carriage way", but more correctly defined as mini-canal.

The mini-canals are irrigation systems developed to distribute water from the rainfall heavy and wet regions on the north of the island to drier sun parched regions of the south. These are walking trails along the maintenance paths beside the Levadas.
