Considered\none of the most beautiful natural wonders in the Algarve, Pego do Inferno is\nlocated in the parish of Santo Est\u00eav\u00e3o, about 7 km from Tavira and\napproximately 13 km from Golden\nClub Cabanas. This is one of many waterfalls found along the Asseca\nStream, one of the main watercourses in the Tavira region. When on holiday in the Algarve, this\nwonderful little secret is one certainly not to be missed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One of the\nhighlights of the route is the Pego Viewpoint. Standing up high, visitors can\ntake in the tranquillity of the waterfall, go for a dip in summer or delight in\nthe force of nature during the winter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition\nto the activities available at the resort in Tavira, guests can choose to go a bit further afield\nwith family or friends on their all-inclusive holiday in the Algarve.<\/p>\n\n\n

The Legend of the Pego do Inferno<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Legend has it that, many years ago, a cart drove off the Pego, taking all the people in it plunging into the pool below. The people driving the cart and the animals pulling it were never seen or heard from again. It is also said that the people never reached the bottom of the plunge pool, which led to it gaining its name: Pego do Inferno (Hellish Pool).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Historically, the location was not very well known or advertised, which meant only the locals got to experience its wonders, naming it the \u201chidden pearl\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The waterfall cascades into a round Mediterranean green plunge pool – a colour gained due to the depth of the pool and the colours of the surrounding landscape and vegetation. A 100% natural area, it is surrounded by trees and bushes. As such, its natural beauty must be preserved.Visitors are therefore urged not to pollute the lagoon and its surroundings, leaving as small an ecological footprint as possible on their way through.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A keen explorer who hasn\u2019t discovered this hidden Algarve wonder? This is an excellent option for a cultural trip during your stay at Golden Club Cabanas<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
