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.
