Hiking | Walking
Right in the "wonderful kingdom" of Alvão Park, the waterfalls of “Fisgas of Ermelo” will crash along 300m, within a deep terraced field gaping. The viewpoint offers an aerial view of fractures and "fisguêdos" that Rio Olo paint with white foam and steamy waterfalls.
In the distance, see “Velão”, threads into Ermelo river terraced fields and the Marão rises like a petrified giant. A unique place, unreal and unsettling. Where eagles nesting and peregrine falcons fertilize on the neck of the breeze.
At “Piocas” or natural ponds, enjoying the edenic view of Splendors of Paradise. A wild beach awarded, a treasure to be discovered. Nature in all its splendor!
