Detailed itinerary

Stop 1

Our starting point! Here we will meet in front of the sea - next to this famous restaurant - Bar do Arante. Here we will have some time to appreciate the beautiful local coastal geography and receive some information about our trail.

We will continue for about 10 minutes to the beginning of the trail. We started with a 25-minute climb and a 25-minute descent.

We will have approximately 75 minutes to explore this beautiful beach. Here we can take a swim in the sea or even a river bath. Stroll along the wild beach, enjoy the beautiful geography/fauna/flora. For those interested I share a Meditation practice.

Time to climb Morro da Coroa to enjoy one of the most beautiful views on Santa Catarina Island. Steep climb of approximately 30 minutes. A spectacular lookout with stunning views. Perfect for taking cinematic shots. We stayed approximately 30 minutes at the top of this hill.

After Morro da Coroa, we will follow an alternative trail until we reach the main trail. From there we will go down the mountain until we arrive back at Pântano do Sul - an incredible beach of unique beauty. Here there are excellent restaurants. Those who wish can stay for lunch at the excellent seafood dishes - the local specialty. Here we end our activity.
