Cascata da Frecha da Mizarela, Natural waterfall in Serra da Freita, Portugal
The Cascata da Frecha da Mizarela drops 75 meters from the granite cliffs of Serra da Freita, forming multiple cascades along its descent.
The differential erosion between granite and schist rocks over millions of years carved this vertical drop in the Serra da Freita mountain range.
The waterfall serves as a central point for nature tourism in the Arouca Geopark, attracting photographers and geologists throughout the seasons.
Visitors can reach the waterfall viewpoint via road N224 from Rossas to Saril, following signs to Mizarela with parking available near the observation point.
The River Caima creates Portugal's highest mainland waterfall, flowing through multiple stages before reaching the natural pool at its base.
