Calheta Essentials

Calheta represents the dramatic geography of Madeira's southwest, ranging from coastal sugar cane mills to the high-altitude Paul da Serra plateau. The region is centered on Rabaçal, a gateway to the UNESCO-protected Laurissilva forest where the Levada das 25 Fontes and Risco waterfall originate. Historical sites like the Engenho da Calheta showcase the island's sugar heritage, while 15th-century chapels and high-altitude viewpoints like Pico dos Bodes offer insight into the local architecture and panoramic landscape.
