Definitely, this is the most beautiful waterfall in the Peneda-Geres National Park, but no easy access.
You will need to trail down to the main lagoon area, through a stone path, scrambling over very slippery rocks and then through a tricky path down the side of the falls.
The views all the way down are amazing, with beautiful small lagoons, waterfalls and dense luxurious forests.
It's certainly worth the journey!
P.S. The water is very very cold!!

I visited that waterfall in October 2020. It is beautiful and impressive. To me it got an easy access. We parked next to the bridge, then we had to walk downstairs - it was not too difficult. Definitivelty worth seeing.

This waterfall has two access trails. One (on the left) leads to the downstream, the other (one the right) is quite perilous but allows you to bathe on the upperside of the waterfall.

Geres is absolutely stunning and is a must to visit. Our last stop was the waterfalls and we went to the smaller one out of the two as the bigger one was too dry.
It was very nice to swim in the natural lagoons BUT please be very careful.
The rocks can be very slippery and whilst we were there a young girl sitting no more than 10ft away slipped and fell 10 m or so down to the lagoon hitting herself many times on the rocks on the way. Rescuers were called but the last we heard was she had a serious brain injury and is still in a coma.
The next day we were on another trip and the guide told us that on the same day another 38 year old lady who was at the higher waterfall drowned. Very very sad and shook us up so PLEASE BE VERY CAREFUL !!!!!!!!

The place itself is beautiful.
Clear water, easy access by car, "prepared" route.
You come there relaxed. The sun is shining, no sense of the wind, only smell of the summer forest and sense of nature.
When you progress to the waterfall and see many tourists around, swimming and descending, with kids, you relax even more.
THIS IS A FALSE SENSE OF CALM.
During our stay at the waterfall which did not last longer that 1.5 hours where we (carelessly) came with the kids:
We fell ourselves two times (fortunately, no injuries).
A couple more folks fell with no injuries.
A less lucky pal fell straight on his face and broke the nose.
... And one fellow mate broke a leg (and potentially the neck, as advised by the emergency that was evacuating him).
The danger is hidden in the stones. The stones are dry - you see it with your eyes, and this brings the feeling of safety.
What you do not catch with the eyes is the fact that the stones were polished by the feet of hundreds of thousands tourists before you.
They are as slippery as the glass poured by the oil.
Do NOT even think to go in slippers/city shoes.
Do NOT even think to bring kids on the stones. Only the prepared road, and, again, think twice. The joy you get just does not worth taking such an enormous risk.
I hope this saves someone's health and, probably, life...

This waterfall is of course, beautiful but wanted to warn people who visit to be VERY careful.
We just saw a young guy slip and fall down this waterfall. He was very badly hurt. Also, one of our party and another woman slipped on the rocks and fell.
Not wanting to scare people away, but please just take extra care on this waterfall. There are other waterfalls that are less dangerous around.

While in Geres this had still a lot of water despite all the others having dried out. Beautiful to visit and take a dip since the watter is never too cold despite being always flowing. ATTENTION: Access is difficult and the rocks are very very slippery when wet. Bring footwear with a lot of grip and avoid waking barefoot over the slippery rocks. Not suitable for children or reduced mobility. Do not go down if it is raining since the slope and the slipery rocks will make it very dangerous when returning to the car.

A shampoo brand called Tahiti shot a commercial film here, so I guess this must be the most tropical waterfall in Portugal.

Beautiful place to go near Gerês.
The access is not easy so prepare yourself to be very cautious during the descend.
The rest is just amazing: very cold water and close to the nature.
Can be over-crowded during weekend and in August and that's a pity specailly because people don't take care of their own garbish.
If you don't know the place just don't jump to the water. Can be very dangerous

Boa tarde. As descidas acentuadas que se fala antes de chegar a ponte são feitas de carro facilmente? Ou e perigoso?

Olá Hugo C , sabe dar as indicações para ir a pé da ponte até à cascata ?

Para começar, o trajecto é feito pela estrada que liga “Vilar da Veiga” até “Ermida” pela estrada de alcatrão como quem vai para a cascata do Rio Arado já descrito anteriormente noutro artigo. Após percorrer +/- 5 km (esteja atento), irá encontrar um pequeno entroncamento à sua direita com uma placa florestal que indica “Cabril” (ver também as 7 Lagoas de Cabril ). Vire à direita e siga por essa via mas com bastante cuidado. Encontrará várias descidas bastantes acentuadas até encontrar uma ponte de madeira sobre o Rio Arado, e verá a indicação do PNPG. Aqui será melhor estacionar a viatura e preparar-se para uma alucinante descida a pé.
Recomenda-se descer pelo lado direito da ponte e depois encontrará uns moinhos (abandonados) e algumas pequenas quedas de água que formam algumas espectaculares lagoas onde poderá se refrescar da descida. Em seguida, atravesse para a outra margem pelo tronco que encontrará mais abaixo, ou caso contrario regresse à ponte e atravesse para a outra margem e aí desça pelo caminho meio escondido pelas giestas e silvas.
Por fim, encontrará uma lagoa rodeada de areia e poderá observar uma das mais belas e maiores cascatas do Gerês. O caminho de regresso é o mesmo com mais um pouco de esforço.

This summer we would like to visit Cascata Tahiti, but we have two children 6 and 8 years old... Is it possible to do this with them?

Hi! Stopped by Tahiti today. If you have a car, it's reachable. Navigator didn't really help though. I used the map application of my phone instead. But maaaan it was crowded on a hot Sunday.
The rocks are quite steep and there are really not so many places to dip in. And grown up men horsing around in those places... My daughter had a quick swim and then we left.
So if you're not close by already, I wouldn't make the trip just because of the waterfall. There are many more family friendly places to swim in northern Portugal.
I'll be glad to help if hou have any questions.
