Traveler reviews
Guillaume Girard
★★★★★2 years agoMe and my girlfriend went on quite a ride thinking the way to the brige was from Caminho do Pinheiro das voltas. This way didn’t bring us to the bridge but to some hard core hike ending either in bushs or streets. We found a way starting on the levada close to the beginning of the bridge on R. Di Pico da Lombada. After about 20 minutes, there is not more ramp. It’s manageable until 200m after the bridge where there’s a section much too high for us and we decided to head back. We saw two couples who were coming back on the hard path and told us the end is a few hundred meters after the hard section. There is a fence blocking the path as mentioned in other reviews.

★★★★★4 months agoNice and calm levada and a beautiful bridge. But not for the people with fear of heights 😬
