What you can expect

Discover the essence of Camacha on a unique walk that combines nature, tradition and local flavours.

The walk begins by the charming levadas, where vimieiros grow on the banks, offering a fascinating insight into how this plant has shaped the local culture. As we go along, we'll visit an old basket-making store, a real window into the past, where we'll learn about the ancient art of basketry.

Afterwards, we'll stop at a wickerwork store, where you can admire handcrafted pieces and understand the importance of this material to the region's identity.

Halfway along the route, we'll take a break to taste an authentic Madeiran poncha, recovering our energy with this traditional drink and learning the secrets of how it's made.
