Itinerary description
Saímos da bela aldeia do Talasnal, seguindo posteriormente para Vaqueirinhos e para a aldeia do Catarredor - que na década de 80 tinha uma comunidade hippie. A caminho da aldeia do Candal, as sombras do arvoredo e os riachos de água dão-nos uma sensação de permanente frescura. Já de regresso ao nosso ponto de partida, atravessaremos bosques de castanheiros que nos conduziram a uma extraordinária levada.
Algumas partes do percurso, requerem ser feitas com muito cuidado.

I've done this trail and it is a must to go down and see the waterfall from the bottom. I also make a 2 km (each way) to see the castle. The trail itself is quite nice and we pass by stone villages and a lot of diversified landscapes. In my opinion it is a must trail to do in Portugal. Beware of some narrow paths (to don't slip).
The trail is marked quite often but sometimes I needed to check my Garmin we this map from wikiloc loaded.
I did it in solo mode but of course I advise to get at least 2 person. Near 5 p.m. I saw in the middle of the way a boar and the boar also saw me (it run until be 10 m from me and I quickly grabbed a big wood stick just to give me some (false) sense of protection) . Finally it went way to it's live and I just was praying for the course dis not cross is territory. Fortunately the path moved away from the "boar lands" and each of us went to it's live :)

Amazing walk! Loved the Levada. Tougher than I expected.
Fiz ontem... Nível de dificuldade elevada...algumas encostas foram totalmente limpas e não existe segurança...cuidado para quem tem vertigens... Exige muita experiência em caminhada e escalada...
