Reaching the caravela's sumit

2025-10-05

In the charming village of Lamas de Olo, a journey full of excitement and natural beauty begins. The ascent to the majestic Caravelas peak, at 1,330 metres above sea level, promises a unique experience, where each step brings you closer to breathtaking views and a deep connection with the Alvão mountain. Leaving behind the granite houses of the village, the trail takes us through increasingly impressive landscapes.

As we climb, Lamas de Olo seems to shrinkig in the distance, while the imposing Farinha mountain and the mountain meadows create a scene worthy of contemplation.

The summit of Caravelas offers an incomparable reward, with views of the city of Vila Real stretching out at our feet. The Marão mountain seems within reach, and the horizon reveals mountain ranges that disappear into the vastness of the sky.

The return is equally fascinating with a descent that takes us to the Cimeira dam, where the granite chaos of Arnal rises like a wild monument of nature. Crossing this rugged landscape, we return to the tranquility of Lamas de Olo, ending the adventure with a mixture of satisfaction and admiration.

This is not just a climb, but an experience that inspires, challenges and leaves unforgettable memories. The Alvão mountain is calling you. Accept the challenge and let yourself be conquered by the magic of the top of Caravelas.
