Canada do Inferno

Canada do Inferno was the first Côa rock-art site identified, and its story is inseparable from the abandoned dam works nearby. A guided route shows engraved outcrops along the left bank of the Côa, including Paleolithic animal figures layered with later marks.

The visit is not just about seeing ancient lines on stone. It is also about standing in the valley that almost disappeared under water and understanding why the rescue of the Côa art mattered.
