Overview
In this adventure we will discover some of the most iconic shale villages and waterfalls in central Portugal!
We started our trip with a wonderful view of the Mont'Alto Sanctuary.
Then, we leave in the direction of Coja where we can relax on its river beach before the mountain paths take us to the village of Benfeita and the waterfall of Fraga da Pena with its imposing 20 meters high.
