Covão dos Conchos is an artificial lagoon located in the Serra da Estrela Natural Park, Portugal, near the mountain village of Sabugueiro. Covão dos Conchos became famous for its bell-mouth spillway[1]. The spillway was built in 1955 to allow water to be transferred from the Ribeira das Naves River to Lagoa Comprida. It is part of the Serra da Estrela Hydroelectric System. This science fiction-style spillway became famous when photographs of the hole went viral on social media in 2016. Over the past 60 years, the growth of vegetation at the funnel's mouth has created extraordinary biodiversity and increased its ethereal allure. It is 4.6 meters high and 48 meters in circumference. The tunnel that collects the water is 1,519 meters long.

At the top of Gardunha, almost 1,000 meters above sea level, stands the Castelo Velho site. From here, the view reaches the Castelo Branco plain and continues to the Tagus River, an endless horizon. Among balanced rocks, blocks sculpted by time, and curious granite forms, this place is a veritable open book of geology and a privileged viewpoint of the mountains.

In the heart of the Serra da Gardunha, the Historic Village of Castelo Novo rises from granite. The medieval village, marked by its Templar heritage and Manueline style, boasts a unique architectural heritage, from the castle to the Baroque fountains. The winding streets reveal stone houses, labyrinthine corners, and centuries-old memories. Between strolls and discoveries, there's no shortage of typical flavors: green eggs, toasted rice, tigelada, or chila pumpkin pastries. Here, your eyes and your stomach will feast.

Both Piódão and Foz d'Égua are accessible by car. But it's worth hiking the trail that connects them. It takes about 45 minutes, downhill from Piódão to Foz d'Égua (remember that the return is a slight climb). It's worth crossing the restored suspension bridge in Foz d'Égua before returning to Piódão. The Foz d'Égua pool is a popular spot for a dip in its very cold waters. Dipping your feet in the icy water of the stream is always very pleasant after a hike, immersing yourself in nature. I did it and recommend it. 👍🥾

A beautiful nature trail, about 9 km round trip to Covão dos Conchos. Unfortunately, on August 15th, the water couldn't reach the hole and thus reveal the waterfalls. It's a reservoir, part of the Serra da Estrela hydroelectric system. A funnel-shaped drainage structure that allows water to flow from this body of water to Lagoa Comprida. The spillway was built in 1955 to divert water from Ribeira das Naves to Lagoa Comprida. Over the past 60 years, moss and foliage have grown over the mouth of the funnel, creating a captivating spectacle. It is 4.6 meters high and 4.8 meters in circumference. The tunnel that collects the water is 1,519 meters long. It's a stunning place to visit, not only for the combination of human intervention and nature, but also for the surrounding landscape.

This reservoir, part of the Serra da Estrela hydroelectric system, is a popular tourist destination. Part of this attraction comes from a funnel-shaped drainage structure that allows water to flow from this body of water to Lagoa Comprida. The spillway was built in 1955 to divert water from Ribeira das Naves to Lagoa Comprida. The conical spillway was little known until photos of the hole went viral in 2016. Over the past 60 years, moss and foliage have grown over the mouth of the funnel, creating a captivating spectacle. It is 4.6 meters high and 4.8 meters in circumference. The tunnel that collects the water is 1,519 meters long. It is a stunning place to visit, not only for the combination of human intervention on nature, but also for the surrounding landscape. The trail from Lagoa Comprida leads here is truly beautiful in any season. Bring windbreaker and water.
