Beautiful waterfall in a jungle-like environment. The approach is quite steep and slippery in wet conditions. But it is doable if you are sure-footed. Parking spaces are pretty rare here. But since it is not very popular and is pretty "out of the way", you can easily park on the side of the road.

The Rio Ouro nature reserve is part of the Natura 2000 network. It starts at about 800 m on the eastern slope of the Sierra do Xistral and flows into the Atlantic at Foz. The Escouridal waterfall, not far from the LU-P6306 where the Guilfonso river rushes against the granite rock from a height of 80 m, is worth seeing if you have time.

Incredible waterfalls where the water falls with enough force to erode the rocks, forming rapids and waterfalls that fall into the giant pools of the Tronceda River. The waterfalls of the Tronceda river, which rises in the Serra do Xistral, have a recreation area and the remains of the old hydroelectric power station in its surroundings.
