Itinerary description

25 Fontes: 25 little cascades which form a natural spring, pretty crowded compared to the all the other routes.

Then we went to check out the mysterious route of Roca Vermelha which is not marked with any postsign, so you must pay attention to the track. The first waterfall you will encounter after a steep descent is the prettiest one. I would recommend to stop there, to swim if you feel so and to turn back to discover, for instance, the Lago do Vento route which has not been tracked in this recording due to the phone battery.

The rest of the Roca Vermelha route is nice. However, you won't see any other spring, and the next two waterfalls do not worth the long walking distance until you reach them.
