Covão dos Conchos

A lagoon containing a bell-mouth spillway connecting two lakes, the Lagoa da Serra Estrela and Lagoa Comprida. The artificial lake was created in 1955 during the construction of a nearby hydroelectric dam. It is a breathtaking sight (often described as looking like a portal to another dimension) and well worth the 10 km hike to get there.
