We walked up from the parking around to the top of the hill for a wonderful view. There were no clouds in the valley during the morning and all the mountains looked amazing. After walking down on a tiny path we followed a tiny earth path down through the gorge and tree heather to reach the Levada. Here we turned right to follow it to Pinaculo or Sugar loaf mountain. A conical rock were it was lovely to sit and eat lunch. The only problem was we had to run the gauntlet under the waterfalls first.
The light was stunning on the Levada today as the waterfalls tumbled over the levada itself making rainbows in the sunshine. The only problem was that we had to walk under them all twice as the last part of the walk only went out to Sugar loaf. It didn't matter as it was warm and fun, we soon dried off as we climbed back up to the plateau above.
After getting socked the second time we followed the levada in the other direction, the path finally leaving it and making our way up hill. We took a small path at a PR sign and then headed up to the wind turbines at the top, just along the rock from the parking. Super, super walk with amazing views.
