Helpful Official Resource

Price: 4.50 ( since the entrance is at PR 6.2 pay via Simplifica highly unlike unchecked walk unless you are using the PR 6.2 entrance)
Distance: ~6.8 km

Best For: Easy hike, waterfall, nature

Family Friendly: Yes (with caution in some area)

Warnings: Can be muddy, limited signage at forks

This waterfall is the highlight of the Levada do Alecrim trail, a quieter alternative to the nearby Rabaçal hikes.

The path is relatively easy and follows a peaceful levada through greenery, ending at a small waterfall and lagoon area. Some people continue further to Lagoa do Vento for a bigger waterfall.

It is a good option if you want something less crowded but still very scenic.
