Cascata da Laja, Waterfall in Vilar da Veiga, Portugal.
The Laja Waterfall flows down through wooden bridges within the Peneda-Gerês National Park, surrounded by dense oak forests and mountain landscapes.
The waterfall stands as a natural monument in Serra do Gerês, where local communities have maintained agricultural traditions through generations.
Residents of Vilar da Veiga integrate the waterfall into their daily life, preserving the natural environment through sustainable tourism practices.
The waterfall is accessible via the Preguiça Trail, a 5-kilometer circular path starting from the Preguiça viewpoint near the N-308-1 road.
During spring months, multiple streams converge at the waterfall, creating a natural symphony as water cascades over granite formations.
