XISTO
BRAVO
After Norte Selvagem, Chaços heads for the heart of the country: granite, schist, foggy mountains and valleys where your phone gives up before you do.
Official reveal
It's not a race. It's a crossing. Thinking wins. So does arriving.
From granite to schist
Two worlds on one map: Estrela at 1,993 m and dark-stone villages where the streets are exactly one chaço wide.
Hidden objectives
Landmarks, chapels, bridges and viewpoints revealed in the roadbook. Each one scores. Each one you miss costs more.
Hotels, dinners and chicken
Sleep well, eat better, and there's a ranking at the end. It's a gathering. With a stopwatch.
