Show moreTrip date: March 2023 - NNNancy· November 21st, 2024The first hike was great over the Boca do Rico. After that the hikes along the Levadas were much the same. Because of the recent fire the route on day 5 had to be changed so we missed the mountain hike. We were dropped off at view point to walk straight down to Camara de Lobos. The walk along the ocean was nice. We planned on taking the gondola up to the tropical gardens, but the line up was long so opted to hike up to the top. At times it was a 32 % grade! Not sure if the 15 Euro ticket to see the garden was worth it.Show moreEurohike commented on this reviewDear guest, we are very pleased to hear that you enjoyed especially the hike over the Boca do Rico.
