Course

Entry point at the ER-209, gravel track, descent on the access path to the Levada do Norte, levada house, in the direction of flow to the great gorge, turn around because of rain and fog, back by the same path

Distance: 11.6 Km, 492 Hm ascent, 492 Hm descent

Start: 10.10 ER-209

End

14.20 ER-209

Condition

Descent on a good path, in places a little slippery when wet; the Levada do Norte is easy as far as the great gorge. In the weather as it was, going further was not advisable.

Notes

The plan had been to continue on the Levada do Norte, with a climb to Terra Cha, but it turned into a stroll in difficult external conditions!
