THE TOUR

This running tour begins at Porto da Cruz, a lovable seashore village on the north side of the island. We start with a challenging climb in a single track, heading to Levada do Furado. It’s about 6Km and 900 m D+.

Reaching Levada do Furado, we follow the levada that offers direct contact with Laurissilva Forest – UNESCO Human Heritage, until we arrive at Portela’s spectacular viewpoint high above Porto da Cruz.

This training ground last section takes us to Funduras inside an amazing green forest with tree covered single tracks. After that, we’re 2 Km’s away from getting again to Porto da Cruz, on a cool run by the seashore.
