Itinerary description
A wonderful loop. There is an odd climb for 15 minutes after 7,7 km. It is completely overgrown with blackberry with stinging thorns. Wear long trousers and sleaves. Consider returning at this point.
It is NOT possible to walk the route in reverse, because you would need to descent at the odd climb.
The rest is easy/moderate. Risk of vertigo.

Percurso facil ate terminar o PR7, a partir daí é mais dificil e como se tratam de caminhos em areas com elevado declive o gps nao segue bem o trilho. Como nao conseguimos seguir a parte do Brasileiro, acabamos por regressar pela estrada.

Amazing loop with incredible views, beginner-medium level.
Just as the author said: only do the Levada do Moinho (which is vbeautiful!) max. until its end. Then go back the same way. Don't try to climb the inofficial way over to the Levada do Brasil, it leads through the habitat of some rather undomesticated cows and they don't seem overly happy to meet some humans.
