The Poio Valley stands as a well-kept secret of the mountains, preserved for centuries by its rugged, steep, wild, and inaccessible geography. Only shepherds and adventurers used to know these paths. Perhaps that is why a rare fauna found refuge here. It is one of the largest fluviokarstic canyons in Portugal, a valley patiently sculpted by water, which left monumental slopes and a breathtaking landscape.

To the south lies Poio Velho; to the north, the more famous Poio Novo, two chapters of the same magnificent landscape.
