The Lagoa do Peixão, sculpted by ice from ancient times, has an almost mystical aura. In spring, the spectacle becomes even more mesmerizing, with thousands of dragonflies dancing on the water, while tree frogs croak on the edge of the lake, composing a perfect natural symphony. The view from here is breathtaking. The imposing rocky peaks of Fragão do Poio dos Cães and Cântaro Gordo emerge on the horizon, reminding you of the ancient glaciers that once shaped this stunning landscape.
