In Kawa
Kawa – a name that whispers of a truly remarkable place. Nestled deep within the Serra da Estrela Natural Park, this lake is more than just water; it’s an experience that stays with you long after you’ve left. The intense blue hue, often described as resembling flames, is a result of a unique geological composition – a fascinating combination of minerals that create this otherworldly colour.
It’s a place of quiet contemplation, a sanctuary where you feel acutely aware of the immense power and beauty of nature. As the video from My Unreal Planet TV suggests, witnessing Kawa evokes a powerful feeling of smallness, reminding us that we are merely temporary visitors in this extraordinary landscape. The surrounding area is wonderfully unspoiled, offering trails for hiking and a chance to connect with the raw, untouched beauty of the Serra da Estrela mountains.
Accessing Kawa requires a bit of effort – it’s a relatively remote location, best reached by car or utilising local transport options like the autocarro from nearby villages. There are limited facilities on-site, so it’s advisable to bring your own refreshments and water. While there aren’t many reviews currently available on Google Maps, those who have visited consistently describe Kawa as a truly unforgettable and humbling experience – a little piece of paradise hidden amongst Portugal’s dramatic mountains.
