Pulo do Lobo, Natural waterfall in Lower Alentejo, Portugal.
The Guadiana River plunges through a narrow gorge, creating a 16-meter waterfall between high rocky walls near the town of Mértola.
The waterfall has shaped the geological landscape over millennia, carving deep channels through the rocky terrain of southern Portugal.
Portuguese writer José Saramago depicted this section of the Guadiana River where waters rush between solid walls in his literary works.
Visitors can reach the waterfall by taking a turn at Vale de Poços village and following a 12-kilometer path to the observation points.
The name Pulo do Lobo translates to Wolf's Leap, referring to the narrow gap that only a wolf could jump across the gorge.
