This levada walk begin on the regional road (E.R. 110), and go down as far as the Rabaçal government house. The trails diverge along two parallel levadas located on different levels. At this height the landscape is dominated by moorland, which includes Erica arborea and Erica scoparia ssp maderensis as well as Madeiran whortleberry (Vaccinium padifolium). This vegetation changes as altitude lowers, with other species predominating, including the rare mountain mocano (Pittosporum coriaceum).
ATTENTION: PR6 can cause vertigo. Do not put weight on protection barriers
