A place to stop along a trip with entertainment for children, picnic tables with the Sousa River right next door

This is perhaps one of the most popular places in the municipality of Paredes. This landscaped area of rare beauty is nestled between high mountains through which the Sousa River flows. This place is home to the so-called “Boca do Inferno”, with its unique geological characteristics and imbued with great mysticism. The Senhora do Salto site offers moments of tranquility and freshness, and its cliffs are ideal for abseiling, climbing, mountain biking or hiking. Despite the existence of a valley with steep slopes, it is possible to enjoy long-distance views if you climb the slopes of the Santa Iria mountain range. This area is part of the Natura 2000 Network, which protects the habitats and species of flora and fauna, and it is possible to observe the peregrine falcon and the rock swallow, among others. The Salto site is shrouded in a legend, according to which a knight escaped death by invoking the protection of Our Lady after an inadvertent jump into the abyss. As a sign of gratitude for the miracle, the knight ordered the construction of the small chapel of Nossa Senhora do Salto.
