THE GREEN WEST
Madeira Island is well known
as a nature paradise and its
north west areas are still the
more preserved on the island
where along with the natural
landscape one still can find the
original small-scale agriculture.
Over 80% of the protected forest
area (endemic Laurel Forest
of the island) is on the North
West. This primitive forest
(Laurissilva) is World Natural
Heritage by UNESCO.
In this natural area we find
most of the over 193 endemic
species of Madeira, from small
orchids to powerful giant trees
(more than 800 years old).
Old and original Levadas run
through the deep green mountain
slopes and deeply cut river
valleys. The above 1000 m high
plateau Paul da Serra surprises
with its natural jewels such as
the Valley of Ribeira da Janela
and Levada das Fontes (25
spring water falls Levada).
Many of these Levada paths
were forgotten but are now
being restored, making this a
paradise for hikers and nature
lovers.
