Detailed itinerary

On the "Trindade" minibus tour, we will take you to a charming little fishing village. You will visit four beaches and a natural swimming pool called "Caixa dAço."

The first stop is at the Cepilho beach, a famous spot for surfers. There you will make a quick stop for photos.

Stop 2

Then the tourists return to the minibus to follow the tour until reach the Outside beach, where the optional lunch can be ordered, so it can be already prepared when returning to this beach. The Outside beach is the start of the guided walk and the end of the tour.

From Fora Beach, a 10-minute easy walking to the beautiful Meio beach, a secluded and calm place with crystal clear waters.

Stop 4

The tour continues with a guided walk of medium level and 50 minutes, passing through beautiful natural clearings and mountain forests. The road also crosses the beautiful beach of Caixa D'aço, arriving finally in the natural pool. At Caixa D'aço you can dive and swim in the crystal clear water as you want. You will enjoy the natural pool for 1 hour, and return by the same trail to the main village of Trindade to relax in the sun and sea. You can also choose to return by boat, by the amount of US$ 4.00 (per person).

Stop 5

When returning from the natural pool of Caixa D'aço, just enjoy the heavenly Outside beach and take a sun bath, walk through the white sand, swim in the sea, get a nice tan and relax to the sound of the waves. You can also walk through the fishing village, with several restaurant options and local craft shops.
