Levada do Norte is one of Madeira’s most significant and extensive levadas, built between 1947 and 1952 to channel water from the north to support irrigation in the south, particularly for the agricultural communities of Câmara de Lobos and Ribeira Brava.
One particularly scenic section runs from just below Cabo Girão to Boa Morte in Ribeira Brava. This stretch spans approximately 6 km, is considered easy and flat, and takes roughly 2 to 4 hours to complete.
This combination of gentle terrain, cultural heritage, and scenic variety makes Levada do Norte an ideal and rewarding walk—especially for those seeking a tranquil yet inspiring way to explore the southern landscapes of Madeira.
