But besides the waterfalls, in this park of 70 km of mountainous area there is a great variety of activities to do and landscapes to visit such as the town of Mondim de Basto, the Monte Farinha e Santuário da Nossa Senhora da Graça, the granite formation of the Lamas de Olo or the Barragem Cimeira.
