In the very heart of the serra do Courel, where deep valleys of dense vegetation alternate with forests from which high peaks emerge, lies the village of A Seara, the starting point of this route. Located at an altitude of 1,000 m, this is a unique site that preserves practically intact the typical structure and architecture of these mountain areas, with houses with rounded corners, slate roofs and wooden balconies, making it a place well worth visiting. 

From there we will go down to the Selmo River and walk along the right bank among birch, chestnut and oak trees to reach an area where the path narrows and where the sound of the water picks up force, as a prelude to what we will be able to contemplate a few metres further on. 

On the final stretch we will use ropes tied to the trees to descend a steep slope that will take us directly to the foot of this impressive 25 m high waterfall. But if we want to see it up close, a wooden bridge will allow us to cross to the other side and get closer.
