Just minutes from Piódão, this place feels straight out of a fantasy movie 🍃 Stone bridges, schist houses, waterfalls and a sense of calm. Foz d’Égua is one of those places that stays with you. Unfortunately, the area was affected by last year’s wildfires, a reminder of how fragile these landscapes are. Still, visiting responsibly is one of the best ways to support local communities and help keep places like this alive.

Park near the café at the entrance and follow the signs, it’s an easy 2-minute walk on foot. 🌿 Best time to visit: late spring to early autumn 💧 Water shoes recommended 🤍 Pair it with a visit to Piódão for a perfect day trip Travel with care, support local, and keep these places alive 🇵🇹✨ #fozdeégua #piódão #portugalhiddengems #praiafluvial #visitportugal portugalnature roadtripportugal serradaestrela sustainabletravel
