Gazing at the Cascata do Poço Negro, have you ever wondered about its deceptive name? Cascata do Poço Negro translates to “Black Well Waterfall”. Yet, the water cascading before us shimmers with an emerald green hue. The seemingly misleading name originates from the immense depth of the pool beneath the waterfall, the Poço Negro itself. This captivating waterfall near Sernadinha, in the Viseu region of Portugal, offers a picturesque scene. Cascata do Poço Negro is easily accessible. A short drive from Sernadinha, following signs for “Poço Negro,” leads to several parking spots along the road. A brief walk from there brings you to this natural wonder. A dam located upstream regulates the water flow, influencing the cascade’s intensity. Despite this regulation, the Cascata do Poço Negro remains a beautiful spot to admire. The deep pool invites visitors to take a refreshing dip, adding to the allure of this enchanting location.
