This trail runs along the esplanade of the Levada do Caldeirão Verde, between the Queimadas and Pico das Pedras Forest Parks, in the municipality of Santana. The nearly 2-kilometre-long route takes around 45 minutes to complete.
Along the route, you can follow a patch of forest that is a transition between Madeira's natural forest (Laurissilva Forest, classified as a World Natural Heritage Site by UNESCO since December 1999) and the exotic forest with trees introduced by Man on this island.
Don't miss a visit to the 'Casa das Tradições Madeirenses' (House of Madeiran Traditions) in the Queimadas Forest Park, which retains the original features of Santana's typical houses, featuring spectacular thatched roofs and a collection alluding to the daily life and customs of their ancestors.
