Caldeirão Verde is located in the heart of Madeira’s Laurissilva Forest, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. It is famous for its waterfall that cascades into a crystal clear pool. A trip to the Caldeirão Verde offers breathtaking views of the surrounding mountains and valleys, as well as the chance to see unique flora and fauna, including the Madeiran long-toed pigeon and the Trocaz pigeon.

The route starts in Parque das Queimadas near Santana, there is a large paid parking lot where you can park your car – you pay when you return from the tour. You can also buy something good here, or go to the toilet. Be sure to bring water and snacks as this hike will take about 5 hours, depending on your pace, whether you make stops along the way, and how crowded the place is. The trail is very narrow on several large sections of the hike. The trail is very well marked, so you don’t have to worry about getting lost here.

You will pass through several tunnels along the way, so take a headlamp and be careful not to hit your head like I did.

At the end of this trail is a beautiful waterfall where most people have a snack before heading back. If you have the strength and desire, head further up to Caldeirao do Inferno.
