    Pretty overgrown path. Entry to it almost impossible to find. Not really recommended at all.

      In May 2025, everything was still overgrown for a good 3 km up to the upper lakes. Definitely only recommended with long clothing.

        The second half (from Covão dos Conchos) is impassable and in some places only possible with orientation using stone markers (stacks). Nevertheless, it's a beautiful hike with views.
