For a quirky and surprising indoor activity, visit the Camera Obscura in Tavira’s old water tower. This giant periscope-like device offers a live, 360° panoramic view of the town projected onto a white dish inside a dark room—kids love it because it feels like magic.

Guided presentations explain how it works and point out landmarks like churches, rooftops, stork nests, and the castle. It’s a fascinating mix of science, history, and fun, and the entire experience takes less than 30 minutes—perfect for a short cultural break in the shade.

Older kids and teens will appreciate the clever optical illusion, while younger ones are captivated by the moving “miniature” town. The guides keep it light and engaging for all ages.

Located in the heart of Tavira, the Camera Obscura is also a great excuse to explore the town on foot—combine it with an ice cream stop or a climb up the castle walls.

Ya sea su primera vez sobre un caballo o simplemente otro paseo en el paraíso, montar a caballo cerca de Tavira puede convertirse en lo más destacado de su viaje.

If you’re looking for a small adventure with your family while staying near Tavira, the hidden waterfall of Pego do Inferno is a perfect half-day trip. Just a 10-minute drive from Taste Tavira takes you to the informal parking area—but that’s where the real fun begins!

There are no official signs, so reaching the waterfall becomes a bit of a scavenger hunt. With a good pair of shoes and a sense of direction, you’ll wind your way down small paths through the trees and bushes. It’s not always straightforward—some trails may lead to dead ends—but that only adds to the adventure. It’s an ideal challenge for curious kids (aged 7 and up, under guidance) who enjoy exploring nature.

A helpful tip: take the lower trail that begins just under the large tree near the parking area. As you descend, listen carefully—if the water is flowing, the sound of the waterfall will help guide you. Keep in mind that during dry summer months, the waterfall may disappear entirely, leaving behind a serene green pool.

The pond at Pego do Inferno is small but beautifully vibrant in color—a striking apple-green that makes a refreshing reward after your hike. While it may not be suitable for very young children, older kids will love the thrill of finding the waterfall and taking a dip. Don’t forget to bring water, snacks, and maybe a towel!

This spot is ideal for families who like a bit of off-the-beaten-path exploration. It’s not a polished tourist attraction, but that’s exactly what makes it special.
