PR14 Levada dos Cedros — Attraction in Porto Moniz

Nice hike generally in a peacefull area. Plenty of parking space around 12.00 and very few people on the road. Luckily didn't rain a lot making the roads easy accesible. But can imagine with rain, not a good road.

Good things: Quiet Beautifull scenery Good parking Good combination with Fanal park

The way back up with all the steps was a bit challenging. The waterfalls were nice, but the highlight for me was a viewpoint a bit further along the path, on your left you can go up a set of stairs and you get to this amazing viewpoint that is stunning on a cloudy day! Also not busy at all, I think I encountered 10 people during the...
