Levada das 25 Fontes

8.6 km out and back from Rabaçal on the ER 150, three to four hours, graded easy to moderate. The turnaround is a basin fed by a weeping wall of springs, the source of the levada itself, and it is the busiest walk of its kind on the island by mid-morning. Flow drops noticeably in summer, so the wetter months give the fuller wall; the Risco waterfall sits on a short signposted spur off the same approach. A note on the map pin: open map data offered a close but not exact match for this place, so the marker may sit slightly off. If it looks wrong, please flag this entry so it can be checked.
