All about the Maroços – Mimosa Valley Walk.

This flat walk in the surroundings of the lovely natural bay of MACHICO is pleasant. It allows you to enjoy diverse views of villages, agricultural fields, forests, and the ocean. You will be amazed to see the authenticity and tradition of the rural way of life of the Madeirans, farming on the steep slopes, growing fruits and vegetables and using the ancient irrigation system called Levada. This walk is also known as “Mimosa”, the word for acacia tree for the sweet scent within the valley. We recommend it for people wishing to see the Madeira countryside and the Levada on a leisurely ramble. BOOK YOUR SEAT NOW!

    A raincoat or poncho if rain is in the forecast.

    Water.

    Children:

    Parents must bring a hiking child carrier backpack to carry their children under 4.

  8. Good to Know Activity level

    The walk is not challenging, the trail itself is flat, and there is no concern about vertigo, but the ground is sometimes irregular. We do the walk reasonably, including stopping to take photos.  There are bathrooms at the coffee bar at the end of the trail.

    Children:

    Not recommended for children under 8 years old.

  9. Security Don't take risks

    Better to go with a guide and relax, instead of getting lost in the mountains of Madeira. If you fall or feel unwell, knowing that the mountain guide activates the emergency system is reassuring. He/she sends a warning and the group’s location to the local authorities, enabling a quick rescue. All well worth the money for the hike.
