The waters of this waterfall come from the Pitões stream, which, due to the uneven terrain, develops over several levels, the first of which is about 30 meters high and flows into a lake bounded by granite outcrops. This waterfall is one of many in the Barroso region and feeds several rivers that originate in the Serra do Gerês.

There is a beautiful landscape nearby to enjoy.

It has a burial chamber with approximate dimensions of 3.5 metres long, 2 metres wide and a height of up to 2 metres. The stones that form it, known as orthostats, can reach an estimated weight of between 500 and 1,500 kilograms each, depending on their size and thickness. These large granite slabs, typical of dolmens, were carefully placed by Neolithic communities as collective funerary monuments, reflecting the effort and ritual importance of the place.

Dating back to the Neolithic period (approximately between 4,000 and 3,000 BC), this dolmen, made up of large stone slabs arranged vertically and covered by a top slab, served as a collective tomb. It is one of the most representative examples of prehistoric funerary architecture in the region.
