Next to the tunnel there is a small, short path secured with hand ropes to reach the beginning of the gorge.

From this viewpoint, you have a breathtaking view of the Ribeira do Rabaçal gorge, carved deep between laurel forest, ferns, and steep rock faces. The interplay of dense greenery, rushing streams, and the dramatic depth of the gorge makes this panorama particularly captivating. A truly impressive moment that perfectly showcases the wild beauty of the Rabaçal Valley.
