Rest area by the lake

Highlight • Lake

Located in the tranquil setting of the Barragem da Tapada Grande reservoir, this river beach of the same name is a very pleasant recreational area with a sandy beach, lawns, and comprehensive infrastructure. Nearby is the village of Minas de São Domingos, which was developed in connection with the now-defunct mining operations.

Minas de São Domingos

Highlight • Historical Site

Abandoned copper mine that seems bizarrely out of place here. Poisonous shimmering water and dilapidated buildings offer an exciting contrast to the tranquility of the surrounding landscape.

Copper lakes of the mine

Highlight • Lake

The old, abandoned copper mines resemble a lunar landscape: a strange and fascinating stage, illuminated by the reflections of copper-hued lakes. A road cuts through the landscape, guiding you along dirt roads. Streams and wells glow in unlikely colors, from copper to green to deep black. Signs warn of the dangers of the water, but nothing prevents your gaze from losing itself in the dramatic and unsettling beauty of the place.

Tapada Grande Reservoir Beach

Highlight • Beach

Along the Ribeira do Geraldo, the Tapada Grande Dam Reservoir holds an unexpected treasure: this serene river beach, with golden sands, fresh lawns, and every comfort for leisure.

Once a vital reservoir for the old mining industry, today it is a setting for rest and harmony. Nearby stands the town of Minas de São Domingos, born of the mining past and still marked by the memory of this unique heritage.
