This small Belesar shelter 2,123 mtrs. It is an excellent bivouac at the bottom of the Boyo Gorge in the Sierra de Gredos, an ideal place to spend the night. It has a capacity of 6 seats.
Located in the Bohoyo Gorge, it allows two-day routes in different areas of Gredos.
It is a small but well-maintained free shelter located in a high area since it is above two thousand meters high.
To reach this small refuge, the usual thing is to go completely up the Bohoyo Gorge, following the route that begins on the road that separates Bohoyo from Navamediana.
The path enters the Gorge, keeping the river at its side at all times, following this route after fourteen kilometers we will reach the refuge area.
What is this Shelter like?
We are in an old oval-shaped shepherd's hut, it has a central beam that formerly supported the roof made of broom.
Today the roof is made of uralite and tiles, so its protection is much greater.
Inside we have two platforms that allow two people to sleep although four more people could fit on the floor.
It does not have a fireplace and the area being so high has little firewood so it is not very useful to have it.
It is well preserved and it appears that it was renovated not many years ago.
