Boca do Inferno, or "Mouth of Hell" in English, is an awe-inspiring natural phenomenon located near Cascais, Portugal. Located along the coastline, this breathtaking cliff formation is famous for its tumultuous waters which crash through a cave system, spraying from an opening atop the cliffs. The site has also gained notoriety due to its connection with Aleister Crowley, infamous astrologer, magician, and occultist. In 1930, Crowley technically faked his own death at the scene, leaving behind a mysterious note written in mangled Portuguese that was deciphered by his friend Fernando Pessoa. Visitors today can take in the beauty of the scenery while reading the plaque commemorating the event, which reads as a reminder of the power of myth and legend. Whether visitors are drawn by human history or natural wonder, Boca do Inferno is sure to leave them in awe.
