Straddling the municipalities of Mértola and Serpa, this waterfall is of rare beauty. It's approximately 14 meters high, in a place of rich geological heritage, where the river flows with a tremendous roar between two cliffs. A narrow rocky strait strangles the river so much that it overflows, forming a waterfall. The imposing landscape lends a unique beauty to this place, steeped in legend and history. During floods, the drop in water level is reduced, allowing several species to travel upstream to spawn.
