Wanderparkplatz /Parque estacionamento levafa do Risco

Great start for nice Levada walk. The tunnel saves a lot of climbing!

Parque de estacionamento da Levada do Risco. Através de um percurso rural, à direita de quem vem da Calheta, tem-se acesso à levada do Risco. Atenção que é preciso levar uma lanterna para atravessar um túnel.

Parking is a bit over the top, but you can park your car there safely and safely for a hike to the 25 springs. Our car only packed the slope to the parking lot in first gear.

The actual parking is tiny, you stop your car at the roadside. But it is a good starting point for the hike to the 25 springs through the long tunnel.

Start of the hike to the tunnel (800) which has to be crossed with flashlights. On the other hand is a completely different vegetation. My tip: park here for 15 minutes, walk to the tunnel, then through the tunnel and on the other side do a little lap and back again. You can see so many different hot spots within an hour or two!
