April 1, 2025, Passadiços do Orvalho

In the heart of Beira Baixa, in the heart of the Naturtejo Geopark, lies one of the most stunning walkways in Portugal. The Orvalho Walkways, part of the PR3 Orvalho GeoRoute, take you along a route where nature and geology intertwine in magnificent settings. Here, you can not only explore UNESCO-listed geomonuments, such as the imposing Fraga de Água d'Alta Waterfall and Cabeço do Mosqueiro, but also admire some of the region's most breathtaking and iconic landscapes.

Hidden at the base of the Orvalho Walkways, the Fraga de Água d’Alta Waterfall slides down 10 metres of rock, forming a small crystal-clear pool around it. It is a true natural refuge, where a refreshing dip becomes even more irresistible in the scorching summers of Beira Baixa. When the place is calm, the sensation of swimming under the waterfall becomes magical. It is no coincidence that this is considered one of the most beautiful waterfalls in Portugal. And the highest in the region!
