PR16 Levada Fajã do Rodrigues

A 7.8-kilometre return levada hike from Ginjas passes tunnels and waterfalls above São Vicente. The official three-and-a-half-hour route needs a half-day, including its out-and-back return.

PR16 Levada Fajã do Rodrigues

Why go

Follow the irrigation channel from Ginjas through exotic woodland into Laurissilva, with glimpses across the São Vicente valley. The route reaches Ribeira do Inferno before returning the same way; the tunnels and two waterfalls make this a sustained trail experience rather than a short scenic stop.

What to look for

  • Tunnels and waterfalls on the Ginjas levada

Useful to know

  • Reserve a time on SIMplifica before hiking and pay any fee in advance; check current trail status. Allow about 3h30 for the 7.8-km return.
