    Itinerary

    Day 1

    We start right next to Serra do Açor, at the beginning of Serra da Estrela, where we walk through magnificent forests with several waterfalls and natural rock pools, discovering wildlife and lesser-known mountain spots.

    This is a day of forests, water and levadas through a mountain very different from the second day.

    Finally, we arrive at our accommodation where we rest until dinner.

    Day 1

    Day 2

    This is a day that, although quite exhausting, will bring an incredible sense of achievement!

    We leave at sunrise from the accommodation towards the highest point of a mountain that will give us MANY stories to tell.

    A day where the group will support and respect each other even more through the effort and dedication.
