# PR6 & PR6.1 25 Fontes & Risco Levada Self-Guided Hiking Rabaçal

**Guidekin's take:** A self guided day that gives you enough time to walk both the Twenty Five Fountains and the Risco levadas in the Rabaçal valley, with a map, a route briefing and the minibus there and back. No guide, no meals, and the hiking tax is paid online separately; not for young children. 4.76 from 115 reviews at €43 per person.

In our comparison: #17 of 24 in Hiking Tours, by rating weighted by review volume (table below).

## Overview

Our concept is for SELF-GUIDED hikers, that enjoy walking and discovering at their own pace with total freedom, providing you with enough time to walk both the hikes (25 Fountains & Risco levadas).
