Covão Dos Conchos

You probably never heard about Covão dos Conchos Lagoa Comprida. The video about the strange case of Covão dos Conchos went viral and this difficult access area is now part of the Portuguese landscape treasures. In fact, until the beginning of the year, this “monument” was a secret that remained unknown until three Portuguese presented it to the world. They challenge themselves to do the 2-hour walk from Serra da Estrela, carrying all the necessary equipment, and film this “mystery”.
