Fírvidas Waterfall - A Natural Jewel in Montalegre

The Fírvidas Waterfall, located near the village of the same name in the Montalegre municipality, is a waterfall of rare beauty, accessible only on foot. This fascinating place is a true natural treasure, hidden among dense vegetation and rocky cliffs. The access, although difficult due to a frequently flooded dirt path, rewards visitors with a splendid view of the waterfall and its untouched natural surroundings.

The Village of Fírvidas

Fírvidas is not only known for its stunning waterfall but also as a charming little village, part of the parish of Chã. Here, time seems to have stopped, reflecting the tranquil and authentic atmosphere of the Barroso villages. Walking through its granite streets and alleys is like traveling back in time, where each stone and corner seems to tell ancient stories to its visitors. Enjoying the chapel, traditional houses, tanks, and fountains is a culturally and visually enriching experience.

Exploring Montalegre

In the Montalegre municipality, the visit is not limited to just the Fírvidas Waterfall and its village. This municipality, rich in history and culture, offers several attractions. The Montalegre Castle, an imposing 13th-century construction, is a historical landmark that offers a journey through history and an impressive panoramic view of the region. Moreover, the local cuisine, especially dishes based on pork and smoked meats, is a must-try experience for food lovers.

The region is also known for its festivities, like the famous "Friday the 13th", celebrated in Montalegre, a festival that mixes tradition, folklore, and a bit of mysticism. For nature lovers, the Peneda-Gerês National Park, partially located in Montalegre, offers trails, waterfalls, and a rich fauna and flora, providing unforgettable experiences of contact with nature.
