Good morning adventurous friends, I stopped by this super community to bring you a post full of beautiful images and history! For this I went to visit the parish of Formariz known for its beautiful landscapes, inside I took a route of more than 12km to visit the Lages Waterfalls, despite there being no signage along the route, if we use Gmaps we completed the route without any problem. I loved that I was able to observe various types of architecture, some more than 300 years old, and that makes the trail not only about nature! Join me on this adventure!🌍🌿🚵🏻
Buenos dias amigos aventureros, paso por esta super comunidad para traerles un post cargado de hermosas imagenes e historia! para ello fui a visitar la freguesia de Formariz conocida por sus hermosos paisajes, dentro hice una ruta de mas de 12km para visitar las Cascadas de Lages, apesar de no existir una senalizacion por el recorrido si usamos el Gmaps completamos la ruta sin ningun problema, me encanto que logre observar varios tipos de arquitectura algunas con mas de 300 anos, y eso hace que el sendero no solo sea naturaleza! acompaname en esta aventura!🚙⛪🌷
Trail characteristics🌍/Caracteristicas del sendero🚩
Let's start describing the trail, first of all it is an adventure for people with average experience in hikes of these characteristics, you are going to walk more than 12km so you need a minimum level of resistance, as you can see in the images the terrain varies depending on the area and we can climb hills more than 320 meters high or walk between small limestone rock paths that if you go on a rainy day are dangerous and slippery! The best height to visit for me is in spring, on sunny days, it has a good temperature and even the waterfalls have water! Winter you can too but the terrain will be quite a challenge! NEVER IN SUMMER, IN SUMMER THE WATERFALLS HAVE NO WATER🚙🚵🏻
Comencemos a describir el sendero, primero que nada es una aventura para personas con experiencia media en caminatas de estas caracteristicas, vas a caminar mas de 12km por lo que necesitas un nivel de resistencia minima, como puedes ver en las imagenes el terreno varia dependiendo la zona y podemos desde subir colinas a mas de 320 metros de altura o caminar entre pequenos caminos de roca caliza que si vas en dia de lluvia es peligroso y resbaladizo! la mejor altura para recorrerlo para mi es en primavera en dias soleado tiene una buena temperatura y aun las cascadas tienen agua! invierno tambien puedes pero sera todo un reto el terreno! JAMAS EN VERANO, EN VERANO NO TIENEN AGUAS LAS CASCADAS🌍🌲
Village "Ribeira dos tostões"🌍/Aldea "Ribeira dos tostões"🚩
Here the walk begins, it is the small village of "ribeira dos tostões" known for its influence on agriculture, here there is really not much to see but a nice church and some old bridges, also a river that runs through the village, And in the distance you can see several mountain ranges such as Sintra, Cascais, others in the area with windmills! Approximately from this point it is 6km to reach one waterfall and another 1.5km to the other!🌻🍀🏡
Aqui inicio la caminata se trata de la pequena aldea de "ribeira dos tostões" conocida por su influencia en la agricultura, aqui en realidad no hay mucho para ver pero si una bonita iglesia y algunos puentes antiguos tambien un rio que pasa por la aldea, y a lo lejos se ven varias sierras como la de sintra, cascais, otras de la zona con molinos de viento! aproximadamente desde este punto son 6km para llegar a una cascada y otros 1.5km para la otra! 🚵🏻🚙
Hike to the waterfalls🌍/Caminata hacia las cascadas🚩
While you walk along the valley you will have to pass through several villages, some smaller than others and observing that Catholic and architectural touch in each place is impressive, I don't know why, but I have a certain weakness in the tiles, some of them are even personalized, making them Each house or tourist site has its own identity, then we see some structures dating from the 15th-16th century in the era of discovery! The area is very calm and you don't see tourists almost anywhere!🌻🌲🍁
Mientras realizas la caminata a lo largo del valle tendras que pasar por varias aldeas unas mas pequenas que otras y observar ese toque catolico y arquitectonico en cada lugar es impresionante no se porque pero tengo cierta debilidad en los azulejos algunos de ellos son hasta personalizados haciendo que cada casa o sitio turistico tenga su propio identidad, luego vemos algunas estructuras que datan del XV-XVI en plena era de descubrimiento! el area es muy sosegada y no ves turistas en casi ningun lado!🌍🚙
extension of the river🍁🍍🌷🌻
At this point of the walk approximately 2km we begin to see the river, the river is comprised of small extensions of the Lizandro that by the way I described in a previous post since I passed through one of the main bridges, these waterfalls are from streams derived from the Lizandro, which are also fed by rain, I already told you that all the waterfalls have quite difficult access! and in summer they are not available!🧭🌏👩🏫
En este punto de la caminata aproximadamente a 2km comenzamos a ver el rio, el rio esta comprendido por pequenas extensiones del Lizandro que por cierto lo describi en un post anterior ya que pase por uno de los puentes principales, estas cascadas son de riachuelos derivados del Lizandro que tambien son alimentadas por la lluvia, desde ya te digo que todas las cascadas tienen acceso bastante dificiles! y en verano no estan disponible! 🍍🚙
First waterfall of Lage 5km🌍/Primera cascada de Lage 5km🚩
And we have literally completed a large part of the trail, despite being somewhat complicated and demanding, the terrain in terms of distance is short and as you can see the landscape is beautiful, the waterfall varies depending on the height of the year, for example if you are in winter the You will see twice the waterfall due to the rain, in spring it is more decent and in summer there is no water, in winter the water is very clean while in spring it is a little dirty clearly the people of the area do not respect nature and throws dirt into the river, contaminating it!🌍🍀
Y literalmente hemos completado una gran parte del sendero, apesar de ser algo complicado y exigente el terreno en cuanto a distancia es corto y como puedes ver el paisaje es bonito la cascada varia dependiendo de la altura del ano, por ejemplo si estas en invierno la cascada la vas a observar el doble de caida de agua por las lluvias, en primavera es mas decente y en verano no hay agua, en invierno el agua es muy limpia mientras en primavera se observa un poco sucia claramente la gente de la zona no respeta la naturaleza y lanza sucio al rio contaminandolo!🌿🧭
Here I made a small stop to take advantage of the landscape and rest, the other Lage waterfall is a little less than 1km away, only that the second one is difficult to access and we even have to climb rocks which makes the experience quite a challenge, we have to Take a path between fields with crops and follow the river down! There are many villages in the surroundings that have hundreds of years of history, others have been occupied since the Romanesque era and others already had people living there in the Iron Age! for example Mafra Gare was popular for its train line!🌍🍀
Aqui hice una pequena parada para aprovechar el paisaje y descansar, la otra cascada de Lage esta a poco menos de 1km solo que esa segunda el acceso si que es dificil y debemos hasta escalar rocas lo que hace de la experiencia todo un reto, tenemos que coger un camino entre terrenos con siembras y seguir el rio abajo! hay muchas aldeas en los alrededores que tienen cientos de anos de historia otras ocupada desde la era romanica y otras ya tenian personas habitando en la edad de hierro! por ejemplo Mafra Gare fue popular por su linea de tren!🚙🌻
Mini trail and second Lage waterfall🌍/Mini sendero y segunda cascada de Lage🚩
We see how in this waterfall the path to get to it is totally different, from the type of soil to the calcareous rocks, which lend themselves to creating a landscape straight out of a fiction movie! I think it's one of my favorite parts of the trail! I also stopped here to take some photos and try to look for amphibians, I saw some species of frogs!🌍🧭
vemos como en esta cascada el camino para llegar a ella es totalmente diferente, desde el tipo de suelo hasta las rocas calcareas, que se prestan a crear un paisaje salido de una pelicula de ficcion! creo que es una de mis partes favoritas del sendero! por aqui tambien me pare para tirar unas fotos y tratar de buscar anfibios vi algunas especies de ranas!🌍🌲
inside the waterfall forest🍍🌻
Well we are a little less than 200 meters from our final destination, the waterfall is totally different from the previous one! In this one we are going to enter a small forest that also has a "brutal" landscape. I loved it, despite the waterfall being small, the landscape is worth the walk and look, it had bad reviews on Google, the access? quite complicated to get to, it is not signposted and it is a short path! You have to look around you, it's a small intersection on the left, don't go straight ahead when Google Maps stops!🧭🌏👩🏫
Bien estamos a poco menos de 200metros de nuestro destino final, la cascada es totalmente diferente a la anterior! en esta vamos a entrar en un pequeno bosque que tambien tiene un paisaje "brutal" lo adore apesar de la cascada ser pequena el paisaje vale la caminata y miren que tenia malas resenas en google, el acceso? bastante complicado de llegar, no esta senalizado y es un camino corto! tienes que ver a tu alrededor es un pequeno cruce a la izquierda no sigas en frente cuando google maps se detiene!🍍🚙
And well friends, with this beautiful setting I say goodbye, we arrived at the second Lage waterfall, it was a fantastic experience, I met new things and places that I never imagined I would find in Portugal! And what did you think?🌍🧭
Y bueno amigos con este hermoso escenario me despido, llegamos a la segunda cascada de Lage, fue una experiencia fantastica conoci cosas nuevas y sitios que nunca me imagine que encontraria en Portugal! y a ti que te parecio?🌻🚙
