Arado Waterfall, Natural waterfall in Peneda-Gerês National Park, Portugal.
The Arado Waterfall consists of three cascading levels, with the main drop measuring 15 meters into emerald pools surrounded by granite rocks.
The waterfall formed on the Arado River, which starts near Curral do Camalhão in the Gerês mountain range and extends for 5 kilometers.
Local residents maintain traditional practices of using natural water sources in the Gerês region, including fresh springs near the waterfall path.
Visitors need to park 500 meters from the site and walk along a path to reach the stone bridge that provides direct views of the falls.
The waterfall creates multiple natural swimming pools at different levels, allowing visitors to experience various water temperatures throughout the year.
