Queda de Água da Fraga da Pena

Inserted in the Protected Landscape Area of Serra do Açor, near the village of Benfeita, Fraga da Pena is a kind of replica, on a reduced scale, of Poço do Inferno, in Serra da Estrela. When heading towards Ribeira da Mata, the waters of Barroca das Degrainhas encounter a difference in level of more than 20 meters, forming a waterfall and, below, a small pond. The cliff is covered with moss and surrounded by vegetation. The temperature of the place, even in summer, is extraordinarily low.
