    Hiking

    In the heart of the protected landscape of the Serra do Açor, Fraga da Pena is a natural spectacle sculpted by time. The Barroca de Degraínhos creates a succession of waterfalls, culminating in an impressive 19-metre cascade that descends in crystal clear veils over the rock.

    Hiking

    The Fraga da Pena Waterfall, located in the Serra do Açor Protected Landscape, is a geological feature crossed by the Barroca de Degraínhos, creating a series of successive waterfalls. The waterfall is 19 meters high. Along its banks are some ancient specimens of the Portuguese oak (Quercus robur) and the chestnut tree (Castanea sativa), as well as the strawberry tree (Arbutus unedo), the thorny Daphne gnidium, and the adernos (Phillyrea latifolia and P. angustifolia).
