about the trail
The crossing Armação - Peri - Sertão - Ribeirão da Ilha is one of the most special trails on this island of SC. We leave the bucolic village of Armação (originally a whaling spot), along the beach and sandbank, towards the incredible Lagoa do Peri (30 min). From the lagoon... a 1-hour trail through the Atlantic Forest takes us to the Gurita waterfall, where we can take a refreshing bath and find the famous blue butterflies, one of the treasures of our fauna. Then, a quick 30-minute trail takes us to the rural Sertão do Peri. We stopped on the way to enjoy an incredible viewpoint. From the bucolic Sertão we continue until the descent to the highway near Ribeirão da Ilha, where we finish 7.5 km of trail. Then we have 2 options: we can take a transport and return home, or walk another 3 km - by foot, uber or bus - to the historic and beautiful Ribeirão da Ilha. A complete trail - fauna, flora, history, energizing bath and high views. I highly recommend. A beautiful crossing from the east side - Atlantic - to the west side - South Bay.

It is important that each one talk about specific health problems - if they exist... - and also take with them the medicines that, by chance, they are taking.
To do any trail we need to be in good health. It is important to leave all worries behind and be 100% attentive on the way, very important to keep an eye on where you step. I'll always be at the front watching everything, but everyone's attention is really fundamental. Listening and respecting the guide's tips is very important. I am here to help and facilitate our trail. Respecting nature is also of fundamental importance. In this way, with respect and attention, we will have an unforgettable adventure.
