Stairs to the Cascata do Arado viewpoint

Highlight • Viewpoint

Easy access via stairs and short path to the waterfall viewpoint. But only to the viewpoint and not to the waterfall itself. This can only be reached with some scrambling and is quite difficult.

The ascent to Arrocedo is pathless with some undergrowth and a few boulders, but the view is all the more rewarding.
