    Tips

    March 21, 2022

    O Covão d’Ametade is the geological heart of the Serra da Estrela Natural Park, a beautiful glacial basin populated by mountain birch trees between Cântaro Raso, Cântaro Magro and Cântaro Gordo, the three great colossi of the mountain range. In these mountains they call the outstanding peaks “cântaro” and the Cântaro Magro is the symbol of all of them, a giant isolated and wild granite python with edges, dihedrals and huge blocks of dark rocks chiseled by glacial ice. The recreational area is the starting point and arrival point of the PR-5 of the "trilhos verde" (green paths) of the natural park and runs through the main environments of the central sector of the mountain range.
