I wasn't able to find this as an official Madeira PR trail in the IFCN (Instituto de Florestas e Conservação da Natureza) register — it doesn't appear among the ~32 classified Percurso Recomendado routes, nor in the Santana Biosphere Reserve's trail listings.
What the name does correspond to is a pair of local road/path names in the municipality of Ponta do Sol (specifically in the Madalena do Mar / Livramento area), as recorded in the official municipal road classification published in the Diário da República (source):
- Caminho do Lombo das Terças (entry 55)
- Caminho do Castanheiro (entry 32)
- Travessa do Caminho do Castanheiro (entry 56)
A short 0.5 km walking route on MyPacer shares the name "Caminho do Lombo das Terças" but it's user-generated content, not an official classified trail.
This is not one of Madeira's official classified trails managed by IFCN — it has no official open/closed status, no IFCN trail code (like PR-X), no managed trailhead, signage, or rescue infrastructure. It may be a local path or "caminho real" (old royal road) that people walk, but it lacks the official framework that the PR routes have.
If you're looking for official trails in the Ponta do Sol area, the closest ones are:
| Trail | Code | Difficulty | Distance |
|---|---|---|---|
| Caminho Real do Paul do Mar | PR 19 | Hard | 1.8 km |
| Vereda da Ponta do Sol | PR 30 | Moderate | 4 km |
| Caminho do Norte | PR 21 | Moderate | 3.2 km |
Would you like me to check details and current trail status for any of these official routes near Ponta do Sol?
