Boca do Inferno is located in Costa da Guia, west of the village of Cascais, in Portugal. The name “Boca do Inferno” attributed to this place is due to the morphological analogy and the tremendous and frightening impact of the waves that are felt there. The characteristic that makes up the rock on the cliff is carbonated in nature. The erosion caused by the action of rainwater that, containing dissolved carbon dioxide, causes the carbonate to dissolve. Through this process cavities and caves are formed inside the limestones. It is quite possible that the place was an old cave. With the abatement of the upper layers, the cave would have been destroyed, leaving a huge cavity in the open.
With unique characteristics, it is a place of leisure, where you can enjoy a divine landscape and magnificent sunsets.
