The path follows the channel to the waterfall of the 25 Fontes, where the water falls in threads from the rock into a cold pool; on the way, the route passes a long tunnel and descends by stairs, in the middle of the forest. Nearby, other trails \u2014 like the path to the Risco waterfall \u2014 share the same starting point.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What to see<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>The waterfall of the 25 Fontes and its pool, at the end of the walk.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The laurel forest of Raba\u00e7al, along the levada.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The tunnel and the stairs of the route, cut in the rock.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The neighbouring paths of Raba\u00e7al, towards the Risco waterfall.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Visiting<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The walk starts at Raba\u00e7al, reached by the road from Calheta and the plateau of Paul da Serra; the routes here are organised, with access controls in busy periods.
