カスタンヘイラ・デ・ペラの滝・トップ6

The Quelhas stream, with its stunning waterfalls and lagoons, is one of the natural gems of the Serra da Lousã. Until 2020, discovering its secrets required tackling one of the most challenging trails in the mountain range, with climbing sections, or venturing out along the course of the stream. Today, with the construction of walkways, exploring this paradise has become much more accessible. And if the heat gets too much, bring your swimsuit; the crystal-clear waters are an irresistible invitation for a refreshing dip!

Wicki and Ilvi

There is a beautiful hiking trail leading to the waterfall. The rock face is criss-crossed with various paths, stairs and benches.

Scary but rewarding climb

A very beautiful waterfall and place to relax, but difficult to get here by bike.

Incredibly beautiful waterfalls + bathing pools can be found here. There are several cascades in which you can swim. The descent is not easy and requires sturdy shoes. You also have to scramble a bit. Safety ropes sometimes help with the descent.

Fantastically idyllic waterfall away from the footbridges. Only a short descent necessary. Access not difficult. Shade also available

The narrow path leads along the stream. The signage very poor. The landscape is very beautiful and to be recommended.
