Beautiful swimming location.

Beautiful, but crowded in July. There are nicer, less crowded swimming spots nearby.

View on Gerês

Small waterfall in the forest

The Laja Waterfall owes its name to the small stream that feeds it, which flows freely through dense vegetation. Hidden behind a picturesque wooden bridge and surrounded by a lush forest, where the oak trees create an almost magical setting, this waterfall is a true enchanted refuge.

The Leonte Waterfall appears when the waters of the Taleira stream fall from a granite cliff, plunging 19 metres into the bed of the Gerês River. However, in drier summers, nature imposes its own rhythm and the flow can disappear, transforming the waterfall into a temporary silence.

From the top of this viewpoint, the view takes in breathtaking landscapes. To the south, the Gerês valley stretches out, with the Caniçada reservoir framing the horizon. A little to the north, lies the source of the Gerês River, which, over the centuries, followed the course of the Gerês/Lovios fault, carving out the straight and imposing valley that now lies before you.
