Cascata do Castro Laboreiro

Cascata do Castro Laboreiro, Waterfall in Castro Laboreiro, Melgaço, Portugal.

Cascata do Laboreiro is formed by the Rio Castro Laboreiro, which drops over a sharp drop in the mountain plateau and falls from the top of high rocky crags into a mass of white foam. It lies in the Castro Laboreiro parish, Melgaço municipality, Viana do Castelo district, south of the Ponte Velha and can be seen from the walls of Castro Laboreiro Castle.

The waterfall area shows signs of human settlement from prehistoric times, evidenced by megalithic remains scattered throughout. It sits near Castro Laboreiro, an ancient fortification that shaped the region across many centuries.

The waterfall is seen from the top of the walls of Castro Laboreiro Castle, south of the Ponte Velha. The name Laboreiro comes from the Castro Laboreiro river that forms it, crossing the mountain plateau before dropping over the rock face. Nearby stand megalithic remains, and the Spanish border lies some distance away.
