A stunning natural swimming spot located just outside the village of Curral das Freiras. This hidden gem, surrounded by lush nature and rock formations, offers a tranquil place to relax. The clear waters of the river invite refreshing swims on warm days, while the surrounding greenery makes it perfect for a picnic or a moment of quiet in nature.

This site is popular among both locals and visitors seeking a lesser-known but beautiful spot in the mountains of Madeira. The short hike of about 30 minutes from the village center to Poço dos Chefes makes it an accessible yet adventurous outing.
