Poço do Inferno Waterfall

Highlight • Waterfall

Poço do Inferno is a wild and evocative waterfall located in the Serra da Estrela. The name, which means "Well of Hell", comes from the depth of the gorge and the impetuous force of the water that throws itself between the granite rocks, creating an almost mystical and primordial atmosphere.

The waterfall is formed by the Leandres stream, a tributary of the Mondego River, and its waters fall for about 10 meters into a natural basin. Surrounded by dense vegetation and mossy rock formations, the area is particularly fascinating, especially after rains, when the flow of water is greater.

Covão da Ponte

Highlight • River

Covão da Ponte is an idyllic and picturesque place, a true hidden gem in the Serra da Estrela. Situated along the upper reaches of the Mondego River, it is renowned for its serene beauty and enchanting landscapes.

Featuring wide grassy expanses, water-polished granite rocks and groves of trees, it is an ideal place for relaxation, picnics and quiet walks. The Mondego River flows here peacefully, forming small pools and waterfalls that contribute to the atmosphere of peace and harmony. It is especially appreciated for its fresh air and the feeling of isolation from the daily hustle and bustle, making it a perfect retreat for nature lovers.
