October 1, 2025, Cela Cavalos Waterfall

Cela Cavalos Waterfall, or Cela de Cavalos, is a paradisiacal waterfall located in the municipality of Montalegre, in the Peneda-Gerês National Park. With crystal-clear waters, it's a perfect spot for summer swimming, hiking, and nature contemplation. The main access point is from the village of Cela.

Near Cela, in a secluded spot, stands the Chapel of Santa Luzia, a simple chapel with simple architecture, a testament to the faith of the Barroso people. It's a place of worship and contemplation, boasting views of the Cávado River valley and surrounding mountains.

Legend has it that Serra da Cabreira owes its name to a young and beautiful goatherd who used to tend her flock there: "(...) And the people wanted to perpetuate forever, with all justice, the shepherd girl's unhappy love. Therefore, they named the mountain where she had experienced her great passion Serra da Cabreira, and since she wanted to be a bird and fly, she began to call the river in Vila do Conde the Ave River...". Whether on foot, by mountain bike, or by car, Serra da Cabreira is a must-see for anyone visiting Vieira do Minho and for those who wish to enjoy the lush mountain landscape. Serra da Cabreira extends across the territories of Vieira do Minho and Cabeceiras de Basto.

Located at the entrance to the village of Zebral, in the heart of Serra da Cabreira, the Caldeirão Waterfall offers visitors a magnificent view. The water reaches its maximum volume during the winter months, creating an even more stunning and imposing effect. Here, the granite was sculpted by the force of the water, which over the centuries formed structures in the rock, like giants' cooking pots.

Serradela Swing Located in the heart of the Serra da Cabreira, at an altitude of 815 metres, the Serradela viewpoint offers a privileged panoramic view of what is known as the lungs of the Serra da Cabreira, the Turio valley. Accessible on foot, there is a stone table here that is in keeping with the characteristics of the mountains. It is the ideal place to watch and record the unique landscape of the sunset, as well as to try out a new attraction, the Serradela swing, which promises to be a great place to visit.

One of the most beautiful waterfalls in the National Park, the Cela Cavalos Waterfall is fed by the crystal clear waters of the Cavadas and Cela Cavalos streams and, in addition to the striking waterfall that forms a large natural pool, it also has a beautiful lagoon of emerald green water hidden at the top of the waterfall.

The Cela Cavalos waterfall is fed by the crystal clear waters of the Cavadas and Cela Cavalos streams and, in addition to the striking waterfall that forms an irresistible natural pool, it also has a delightful lagoon with emerald green water hidden above the waterfall. The landscape is disarmingly beautiful! To get there, you have to walk and sometimes climb - about 3 km on the way there and 1.5 km on the way back. You are rewarded with absolute peace and an incomparable panorama, to which the ruins of the two old mills contribute.
