The Cascata dos Anjos is a waterfall (cascade) that is located at the site of Anjos, Ponta do Sol

The Cascata dos Anjos ("Waterfall of Angels") falls down a sheer rock face onto the E.R.101 road and into the sea. It is one of the most picturesque.

The beautiful waterfall can be reached easily in a hire car from Funchal. A natural car wash, the Cascata dos Anjos waterfall is about 30 minutes drive west of Madeira's capital.

The flow of water comes from a Levada - one of the many irrigation channels that funnel and transport water on the island for agriculture.
