Two well-known levadas are within 2-4 km from Quinta da Fajã.

"Levada dos Tornos" is approximately 2 km from Quinta da Fajã uphill on the road to Camacha. To the left the levada goes to Monte, to the right towards the village of Camacha. Also from there you can descend towards Quinta do Palheiro Ferreiro Gardens.

Two km further up the road just before Camacha on the road to Poiso is the “Levada da Serra do Faial" which to the left goes to Campo do Pomar and right to Santo da Serra.

Both can be accessed from the centre of Camacha.
