The crystal-clear water invites you to cool off.

The waterfall cascades down a steep rock face, formed by large boulders and outcrops of dark and gray stone. The water, a brilliant white color, splits into multiple streams as it descends, creating a multi-layered effect. Around the waterfall and along the rocky slopes, vegetation is sparse but tenacious.

Granaries are icons of northern Portugal, built in stone or a combination of stone and wood. Elongated in shape and built on pillars, they are used to store corn cobs, allowing them to dry through the side gaps, while protecting them from birds and rodents.
