Este fenómeno transforma a paisagem com tons de branco e rosa, atraindo visitantes para percursos pedestres e viagens de comboio, numa celebração da Rota das Amendoeiras em Flor. Reconhecida como a "Capital da Amendoeira em Flor", Vila Nova de Foz Côa associa este espetáculo natural à sua importância económica na produção de amêndoa. A região integra ainda o Parque Arqueológico do Vale do Côa, Património Mundial da UNESCO, onde se destacam as gravuras rupestres paleolíticas, enriquecendo o património cultural e natural da zona transfronteiriça entre os rios Côa e Douro.
