The panoramic viewpoint, situated at an altitude of 1099 meters, offers breathtaking vistas stretching from the mountains to the sea.

This place is located in the Moldes region, and allows us to admire places like the Gamarão mountains, passing through the Paiva river valley, the Serra de Montemuro, the Douro valley and the mountain ranges that go from Valongo to Gerês.

In Mizarela, we find two interesting points: its bridge and the waterfall, which can be observed from viewpoints: Miradouro da Ponte and Miradouro da Frecha.

The surrounding landscapes include, in addition to the Serra da Freita mountain range, the Mizarela bridge built over the Caima River, the gorge, the Paiva River, and the Frecha da Mizarela waterfall, one of the largest in Portugal.
