Located in the Montsenyen half of the municipality, included in the Montseny Natural Park, it covers a large part of the Vallcàrquera valley, drained by the stream that bears the same name, at the foot of the Tagamanent hill. It runs along the southernmost slope of the Vall de Vallcàrquera to cross the tramuntana side at the Pont de la Font del Molí, and descend more or less steeply to Can Bosc to end up flowing into the Gorge in the section known as the creek The Vallcàrquera valley is a territory with a humid Mediterranean character where the vegetation is basically coastal and mountain oak. Despite this, the accentuated relief and the geological diversity of the municipality, together with the several permanent watercourses, have made Figaró one of the municipalities with a diversity of the most remarkable plant communities in the Vallès.

The Bosc Negre torrent is the most important of the water courses that lead to Sot del Bac, where the Salt del Prat stands out, where a magnificent horse's tail manifests itself in the most generous periods of water of about 30 meters height, and goes to deposit the water in the gorge of the Bac, the surplus continues its course until the confluence with the river Congost, next to the Figaró. You can see how Travertine has been formed by the action of water on the rock.

03/24/2022 The Sant Miquel del Fai site remains closed for works and will partially reopen to the public once the works on the car park and the conditioning of the external spaces are finished. In this sense, visitors are reminded that they cannot access it until the opening is made. The conditioning works began with the actions related to the natural environment to be able to guarantee the safety of all visitors. In this sense, sanitation and stabilization works were carried out on the cliff up to the waterfall of the Tenes river. The security of the facilities has been strengthened, with work to stabilize the slopes and renew the 1,500 meters of railings throughout the circuit, the lighting and the external wiring. The Diputació de Barcelona has owned the Sant Miquel del Fai complex since 2017, the year in which it acquired it with the intention of adapting it. It has been closed to the public since then, in order to carry out the necessary conditioning works and decide on its use plan and management as a space within the Natural Parks Network. The downpours and the COVID-19 pandemic have delayed the works. The complex of Sant Miquel del Fai is a Cultural Asset of National Interest and is included in the Plan of Areas of Natural Interest of the Cingles de Bertí, which is why the adaptation works have been fully adjusted to the conservation objectives patrimonial In December 2018, the Diputació de Barcelona also acquired the cartulary of the Benedictine monastery of Sant Miquel del Fai, a document from the 14th century of great historical importance.

In the town of Figaró-Montmany in the Vallès Oriental region, there is a pleasant excursion called Ruta del Arbres de Vallcàrquera, which runs alongside the Vallcàrquera stream where there are a couple of fountains, a beautiful waterfall and many types of trees. The first part of the excursion is ideal to go with very young children because it has hardly any unevenness and it is a fairly short section.

At this point I would like to quote the incomparable humorist Heinz Erhardt (1909 - 1979), who was known to a wide audience - especially in German-speaking countries - for his wordplay and "another poem" with a short quatrain: "There's certainly a lot of beauty in it, on the element, the wet. Because you can drink the water. But you can leave it alone." (H.Erhardt)
