It is one of the oldest trees in the country that is cataloged as natural heritage of Fontelas, to get to the site that looks like an enchanted magical setting where we can photograph the Quercus faginea species we have to take a path of almost 10km which makes this A challenging adventure with a beautiful reward!🌄🍍🧭
Bienvenidos amigos viajeros hoy les traigo un post cargado de fotos coloridas y de buena informacion, vamos a visitar la pequeña aldea de Fontelas con menos de 200 personas y en ella se encuentra escondida un tesoro natural de Portugal! se trata de uno de los arboles mas antiguos del pais que esta catalogado como patrimonio natural de Fontelas, para llegar al sitio que parece un escenario magico encantado donde podremos fotografiar la especie Quercus faginea tenemos que hacer un sendero de casi 10km lo que hace de esta aventura todo un reto con una hermosa recompensa!🌏🚵♂️
Passing through more than five villas🙇♂️🍍🚩/ Pasando por mas de cinco villas🧭🌄
The path becomes more difficult as we advance along the path. We begin in a large village called Guerreiro, which after walking about 2km we abandon it and pass along the road until we reach "povoa de galela" later we will pass through "Ponte de Lousa" until you reach Carvaleos where the trail would begin with the irregular terrain and much more difficult. This entire adventure has an extension of more than 12km and you can walk up to 26km in a single day, so come prepared, the path is hard, slippery and you need as much as hiking boots. excursion like hiking poles! In winter it usually rains so bring warm clothes! Never let 18:00 catch up with you because it will already be dark and it's too dangerous!🧭🍍🚩
El camino va haciendose mas dificil a medida que vamos avanzando en el sendero comenzamos en una aldea grande llamada Guerreiro la cual al caminar unos 2km la abandonamos y pasamos por la carretera hasta llegar a "povoa de galela" posteriormente pasaremos por "Ponte de Lousa" hasta llegar a Carvaleos donde comenzaria el sendero con el terreno irregular y mucho mas dificil toda esta aventura tiene una extension de mas de 12km pudiendo caminar hasta 26km en un solo dia por eso ven preparado el camino es duro, resbaladizo y necesitas tanto como botas de excursion como bastones de senderismo! en invierno suele llover asi que trae ropa abrigada! nunca dejes que te agarre las 18:00 porque ya estara oscuro y es demasiado peligroso!🚶♀️🙇♂️🌾🍄
17th century house🚩🍍🧭
It is not every day that we have the opportunity to see architectural antiques like this one. This beautiful pink house was built in the 17th century and the beginning of the 18th century. When it was built, it was a chapel that served as a place of prayer for the village. Next to the chapel we see a extension with more than 10 rooms that for me either belonged to the owner of the villa or had some pilgrimage function, it is abandoned so not much information is known about it! However, it is an excellent stop to take some photos before continuing our trail!👀🧭🌏
No todos los dias tenemos la posibilidad de ver antiguedades arquitectonicas como esta, esta hermosa casa rosada fue construida en el siglo XVII principios del XVIII cuando se construyo era una capilla que servia como lugar de oraciones para la aldea, al lado de la capilla vemos una extesion con mas de 10 cuartos que para mi o era del dueño de la quinta o tenia alguna funcion de peregrinacion, esta abandonada por eso no se conoce mucha informacion sobre ella! sin embargo es una excelente parada para tirarnos unas fotos antes de continuar nuestro sendero!🙇♂️🍍
Lousa and the mountains 🙇♂️🍍🚩/ Lousa y las montañas🧭🌄
About 3km or maybe 4km we passed through a village that is large and called "Pte de Lousa" which is known for being in the middle of nature, many houses were built between the mountain whose main constitution is granite rock. very porous which allows the landscape to be shaped with very interesting designs. In addition, thanks to the type of stone, hundreds of caves are formed. I will show you one which I will have to pass before reaching the famous ancient tree! You can go down here by public transport in case you don't want to walk the 12km🚩🍄🌾
A unos 3km o quizas 4km pasamos por una aldea que si que es grande y se llama "pte de Lousa" la cual es conocida por estar entre en medio de la naturaleza, muchas casas fueron construidas entre la montaña cuya principal constitucion es roca de granito muy porosa lo cual permite moldear el paisaje con diseños muy interesantes ademas que gracias al tipo de piedra se forman cientos de cuevas, te mostrare una la cual tendre que pasar antes de llegar al famoso arbol antiguo! puedes bajar por aqui en transporte publico por si no quieres caminar los 12km🙇♂️🚶♀️🚵♂️🌏🌄
Climbing the mountain 🙇♂️🍍🚩/ Subiendo la montaña🧭🌄
After walking about 5-6km the terrain begins to become a headache for those who have little resistance and you will have to reach the top of the mountain that is more than 450 meters high, at the top we will find the village of Carcavelos which I mentioned before because it is very small and it is literally a place to retire or buy a house and enjoy nature on your vacation! They are dedicated to agriculture so it is common to see many crops! and of course the eloic energy predominates!🚵♂️🍍🧭
Luego de caminar unos 5-6km comienza el terreno a convertirse en un dolor de cabeza para los que tienen poca resistencia y vas a tener que llegar a la cima de la montaña que tiene mas de 450 metros de altura, arriba encontraremos la aldea de Carcavelos que mencione anteriormente por ser muy pequeña y literalmente es un sitio para jubilarse o comprar una casa y disfrutar de la naturaleza en tus vacaciones! se dedican a la agricultura por lo que es comun ver muchas siembras! y claro la energia eloica predomina!🌻🌼🌾
Road to TOFU cave🚩🍍🧭
After climbing the mountain I made a stop to hydrate and rest a little because the path will now be complicated because we will have to go through the forest as you can see between the muddy soil of the Carcavelo mountain, here it does not work on Googlemaps so we will have You have to have a good sense of direction not because you can get lost but to get to the cave which is very hidden!👀🧭🌏
Luego de subir la montaña hice una parada para hidratarme y descansar un poco pues el camino ahora se hara complicado porque tendremos que pasar entre el bosque como puedes ver entre el suelo lodoso de la montaña de Carcavelo, aqui no funciona en el googlemaps asi que tendremos que tener un buen sentido de orientacion no porque puedes perderte si no para conseguir la cueva la cual esta muy escondida!🙇♂️🍍
Detour to the Tofu Cave🙇♂️🍍🚩/ Desvío a la cueva Tofu🧭🌄
And finally I managed to reach the famous cave "Tufo" or Tofu has several names but it is quite complicated to get to so you have to make a small detour of about 400 meters in the mountain, the paths are quite narrow but it is well marked, when we arrived at the cave, be careful where you step because under your feet there are some craters that were created because of the stone! We can take some photos, if you are adventurous you can explore the cave but be 🌻🧭🚩careful!
Y por fin consegui llegar a la famosa cueva el "Tufo" o Tofu tiene varios nombres pero es bastante complicada conseguirla asi que debes hacer un pequeño desvio de unos 400metros en la montaña, los caminos son bastante estrechos pero esta bien señalado, cuando llegamos a la cueva ten cuidado donde pisas porque debajo de tus pies hay algunos crateres que se crearon por causa de la piedra! podemos hacernos unas fotos, si eres aventurero puedes explorar la cueva pero ten cuidado!🍍🚵♂️
The Enchanted Forest 🙇♂️🍍🚩/ El bosque encantado🧭🌄
And we arrive at our objective, which is the Ebios trail, an alternative detour from the original trail and which you cannot miss! It is known as the enchanted forest and it is believed that this tree is close to being almost 500 years old. Every few years the municipal chamber sends an environmental team to make measurements! the best place to seek peace, tranquility, reflect on life and excellent for practicing natural photography!🧭🚩🍍
