Reviewers praise the guides and forest scenery; crowds on the paths and at the waterfall are the recurring drawback.

Full-day tour with a walk of about 4 hours and 30 minutes, starting the route in the Paúl da Serra, descending to the Rabaçal valley for the first levada, which leads us to the first waterfall, the Risco waterfall
We descended to find the second levada of the 25 springs providing wonderful and unique views over the Rabaçal valley, finding endemic species of fauna and flora along the route until reaching the lagoon of the 25 springs. On the return we passed a tunnel of about 800 meters
