About this experience

Located near the neighborhood of Boldró, the walk to the Morro do Piquinho begins on an unpaved road that gives access to a trail in the middle of the local vegetation. During the trip, which mixes ascent and a few minutes of walks, it is possible to observe endemic species and the native vegetation. The highest point of the trail consists of the arrival at the top of Piquinho hill (highest peak of 321 island), from where you can see a view that covers the secondary islands to Ponta da Sapata (extreme points of the island). In general, it is suggested that this trail can be done at sunrise or sunset.
