The Panorama of Costa da Castanheira, at 1046 meters above sea level, is a very relevant geosite of Arouca Geopark. It is an extraordinary place from where you can admire the landscape, morphology and geology of the Freita Mountains. This geosite is located near the village of Castanheira and is where the Arouca Meteorological Radar, service of the Portuguese Institute of Sea and Atmosphere (IPMA), is located. In this structure, you can climb up to the tenth floor, the panoramic floor, and admire the magnificent landscapes that the Arouca Geopark has to offer. On clear days, from this tower, it is also possible to observe a large part of the national territory, such as the Arada, Caramulo, Estrela and Montemuro mountains, the Vouga valley, the Atlantic Ocean, the plateau of the Serra da Freita, the Mizarela gorge, considered the largest waterfall in continental Portugal.
