Fecha de Barjas waterfall

The Fecha de Barjas waterfall creates several natural pools along the Arado River, offering swimming spots during summer months.

The waterfall received its alternative name, Cascatas do Tahiti, from local residents who compared its clear waters to those of the Pacific islands.

The waterfall stands as a meeting point for Portuguese families who gather at its base for traditional summer picnics and river activities.
