In springtime, this waterfall in a craggy gorge makes a beautiful sight. From Manteigas, drive approximately 4km along the signposted main road towards Torre. Just beyond Caldas de Manteigas, turn left for Poço do Inferno (Hell’s Well) and climb a further 6km to the falls through lush evergreen forest.
There’s also a hiking trail from Manteigas to the falls, starting with a long descent along the cobbled road between the turismo and petrol station.
In summer the waterfall slows to a trickle.
