Lomba do Vidoeiro Shepherd Shelter

Highlight • Mountain Hut

Pure nature in its spectacular wilderness. Highland pens are a feature of the Gerês Mountains landscape and are inextricably linked to the history and culture of local communities stretching back generations. This was once a shelter for shepherds.

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.
