Cascata da Ribeira do Ferreiro, also known as Poço da Alagoinha, is one of the most stunning natural attractions on Flores Island in the Azores, Portugal. Located on the western side of the island, this breathtaking spot is famous for its series of cascading waterfalls that flow down lush, green cliffs into a serene, crystal-clear lagoon below.

The area is surrounded by dense, vibrant vegetation typical of the Azores, giving it a magical, almost otherworldly feel. Cascata da Ribeira do Ferreiro is accessible by a relatively short and easy hike, making it a popular destination for visitors to Flores Island who wish to experience its unspoiled natural beauty. The site is particularly stunning after rainfall when the waterfalls are at their fullest, creating a powerful and mesmerizing scene.

Visitors often describe the location as a peaceful, tranquil escape, perfect for nature lovers and photographers alike. The combination of the towering waterfalls, the reflective waters of the lagoon, and the lush surroundings make Cascata da Ribeira do Ferreiro a must-see destination on Flores Island.

It's like stepping into a Jurassic Park setting with lush greenery all around. Don't forget your camera for this picture-perfect spot!
