Levada da Rocha Vermelha

PR 28 Levada da Rocha Vermelha branches from the Fanal and PR 13 area into the deep green Rocha Vermelha valley. The route follows an old levada system with steep stairways, flowing water, rock-cut sections, tunnels, waterfalls and views into the Rabacal landscape. It is less crowded than the headline Rabacal walks, but also more technical and sometimes exposed. Hikers should bring a headlamp, wear sturdy footwear and take care on narrow, wet or uneven sections.

PR 28 Levada da Rocha Vermelha is a linear trail on Madeira, covering 10.8 km, with an estimated walking time of 4 hours. It runs from Fanal (ER209) to Casa dos Guardas de Canal. Altitude ranges from 837 m to 1297 m.
