Stairs to the Cascata do Arado viewpoint

Highlight • Viewpoint

Easy access via stairs and short path to the waterfall viewpoint. But only to the viewpoint and not to the waterfall itself. This can only be reached with some scrambling and is quite difficult.

June 27, 2025,Cascata do Arado a partir do Ermida Gerês Camping

Beautiful, but at times steep, path up! To save my knees, I took the road downhill, which was also nice and a bit faster! Be sure to take advantage of the viewpoint and climb into the small valley near the waterfall to the foot zone or plunge pool! There are also small pools for swimming! Wonderful!
