Located just a stone's throw from the Castelo da Lousã, the Cascata da Senhora da Piedade is a natural wonder tucked into a deep schist gorge. The water of the Ribeira de São João cascades down the mountain, forming a series of natural pools and small falls before flowing into the river beach below.
