The Laboreiro Waterfall is located in the village of Castro Laboreiro, within the municipality of Melgaço. It is situated in a mountainous landscape, characteristic of the northern high plateau. Its setting in the area known as Ponte Velha (Old Bridge) offers an integrated view within the mountain's natural surroundings.
This impressive natural formation is created by the waters of the Laboreiro River. The river descends here a steep drop, plunging over imposing rocky outcrops. The force of the water creates a visual spectacle of white foam and constant movement, captivating the attention of those who observe it.
The Laboreiro Waterfall is renowned for its unique beauty in the region's natural landscape. There is an observation point that allows visitors to contemplate the waterfall in its entirety, offering a broad perspective on the drop and the continuous flow of the waters that shape it.
