Tropical Feels & Ice Cold Dips at Cascata do Tahiti

#summervacay Cascata do Tahiti in Gerês is an absolute stunner. First off, no, it’s not in the tropics, but it feels like it could be. Tucked away in the lush Gerês National Park, this waterfall has crazy clear water, smooth rocks, and a super chill vibe that makes you want to stay all day. The walk down is a bit rocky and steep, so bring decent shoes and take your time. But once you’re there? Paradise. The water is freezing but so refreshing, especially on a hot day. There are natural pools to dip in, or you can just sunbathe on the rocks and enjoy the peaceful sound of the water crashing down. It can get a little busy in summer, but still feels like a wild, hidden spot. Pro tip: go early or late to avoid the crowds. No cafés or shops down there, so pack snacks and water. Cascata do Tahiti is pure Gerês magic, wild, fresh, and the perfect place to chill hard in nature.
