    Hiking

    Peneda Waterfall, located next to the Sanctuary of Our Lady of Peneda:
    It is located in the parish of Gavieira, municipality of Arcos de Valdevez, within the Peneda-Gerês National Park.
    It has a drop of 30 meters, visible from afar thanks to its white spray.
    The waters fall just behind the former dormitories of the Sanctuary, now converted into the Hotel Peneda, and flow under the building before joining the Peneda River.

    Hiking

    The Cascata da Peneda is a seasonal waterfall above the Santuario de Nossa in Peneda (Gavieira). Especially in spring, its sudden surges of water occasionally endanger the hotel and the grounds of the sanctuary.
