Nature Park of Alvão, Nature reserve in Vila Real, Portugal
The park covers 72.2 square kilometers of mountainous terrain between elevations of 260 meters and 1,339 meters at Caravelas peak.
Established on June 8, 1983, the protected area later received Natura 2000 designation through a Council of Ministers resolution in August 1997.
Mountain villages like Ermelo and Lamas de Olo maintain traditional stone architecture using local granite and slate building materials.
The natural park remains accessible every day throughout the year, with visitor centers located in Vila Real and Mondim de Basto.
The Fisgas waterfall cascades 250 meters down along the Olo River, creating a series of pools across 1,500 meters of distance.
