We will continue our journey through the
wonderful island of Madeira. Today we will focus on one of the most beautiful
places on the island, a real "Paradise" hidden from the world,
"a miracle of nature" - Balcoes (Balconies).
Balcoes or "Balconies" in English,
is located at 870 meters above sea level. The access is very easy, the road can
be traveled even by a child. From Ribeiro Frio, in a 20-25 minute walk into the
wonderful Levada, passing through Laurel Forests (Laurissilva) you’ll be
already there. At the end of the forest, the view is wonderful: high mountains
and deep valleys, both of which can be seen as if you are watching from a real
balcony. It was the most beautiful view I have ever seen in my life!
The place is ideal for ornithologists.
The forests are home to many species of birds, some of which are endemic to the
island of Madeira: Columba trocaz
(Trocaz Dove), Fringilla maderensis
(Madeiran Chaffinch also known as "Tentilhao" for locals).
