After
breakfast (09h00) we start the adventure, Off-Road,
by Jeep to the beach of Praia dos Castelhanos. From
the island’s village we go up in the mountains
on a serpentine dirt road in the middle of the Atlantic
Rainforest. There are several outlooks to enjoy the
beautiful views and the highest point we reach, is
about 930m above sea level. We arrive the beach about
10:30, which is considered as one of the island’s
most beautiful, with an extension of 1.500m. Here
are no hotels; only 15 native families live in the
area. They have one small restaurant where you may
eat and drink some during the day. Optional, but recommended,
trekking from the beach to the waterfall of “Cachoeira
do Gato”, with a height of 50m. The walk takes
about 40min. In the afternoon we return to our hotel
with arrival about 18:00. |
