- Duración: 1 h
- Temporada: May and June with more water; in August, first thing
- Para quién: Everyone to the viewpoint; the pools only with sure feet

The most photographed waterfall in the Gerês, with a viewpoint beside the Pedra Bela road. Viewpoint · 1 h · Best first thing

The Arado rises from the Camalhão and Teixeira streams and descends in leaps over the granite to the river of the same name. From the viewpoint you see it whole without going down; the pools below are only worth visiting in shoes with grip, because wet rock is very slippery. In July and August the car park fills by mid-morning.
