Itinerary description

Our walk today begins from Lombada, just inland from Ponta de Sol. We follow the Levada Nova, guiding us round the hillside with views over the coastline and villages of Ribeira Brava. The landscape here gives us a great insight into local livelihoods and traditions, passing banana plantations, cultivated fi elds and colourful endemic flora, which the tour leader will point out along the route.

The walk ends in Ribeira Brava.

Today's 10 kilometre trek is expected to take around four hours with 50 metres of ascent and descent. There are several small sections of the hill-side levada without railing protection.
