Preguiça Viewpoint

Highlight • Viewpoint

From the top of this viewpoint, the view takes in breathtaking landscapes. To the south, the Gerês valley stretches out, with the Caniçada reservoir framing the horizon. A little to the north, lies the source of the Gerês River, which, over the centuries, followed the course of the Gerês/Lovios fault, carving out the straight and imposing valley that now lies before you.

Leonte Waterfall

Highlight • Waterfall

The Leonte Waterfall appears when the waters of the Taleira stream fall from a granite cliff, plunging 19 metres into the bed of the Gerês River.

However, in drier summers, nature imposes its own rhythm and the flow can disappear, transforming the waterfall into a temporary silence.

Laja Waterfall

Highlight • Waterfall

The Laja Waterfall owes its name to the small stream that feeds it, which flows freely through dense vegetation. Hidden behind a picturesque wooden bridge and surrounded by a lush forest, where the oak trees create an almost magical setting, this waterfall is a true enchanted refuge.
