PR18 Levada do Rei

A moderate 10.6-kilometre return hike follows Levada do Rei from São Jorge toward Ribeiro Bonito. The official three-and-a-half-hour duration makes this a half-day hiking commitment.

PR18 Levada do Rei

Why go

The route traces the water channel through the northern landscape rather than ending at a roadside viewpoint. The tourism board gives about three hours thirty minutes for the full return, so protect a half-day and leave space for the wet, narrow sections near the waterfall.

What to look for

  • Levada route to Ribeiro Bonito

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 10.6-km return.
