Cascata da Cabreia

Cascata da Cabreia is a multi-tiered waterfall in the Serra da Cabreia region that cascades down several levels, creating multiple water streams. The water flows through large rocks into a deep canyon, shaping the surrounding landscape.

The waterfall formed over many centuries as a natural boundary of the mountain range and shaped the geography of the area. The rock formations date back to ancient times when the sea covered this region.

The park surrounding the waterfall is a gathering place where families spend time together outdoors. You can see people picnicking and swimming here, particularly during the warmer months.

The site can be reached through several hiking trails of varying lengths, and facilities include restrooms, picnic tables, and drinking fountains. It is best to arrive early to secure good spots and explore the area at your own pace.

The rock layers around the waterfall contain fossils of marine organisms from ancient times. These petrified remains show that a sea once existed here, long before the mountain landscape formed.
