about the trail
A trail with an incredible panoramic view - see the photos - from where we can have a privileged view of Santa Catarina Island. Old fishermen's path that went from Barra to Galheta beach. We start at the main square of Barra da Lagoa, cross the bridge, part of the neighborhood and climb to the top of the hill. We then have a beautiful hike along the top of this small mountain range in the east of the island. From there we can see the hills in the north and south of the island, as well as a complete view of Lagoa da Conceição - unforgettable. On the way down, we will find another trail and continue to Galheta beach. On this beach we will be able to visit an archaeological site, in addition to enjoying one of the most beautiful beaches in Floripa. I want to warn you that this is a beach where nudism is allowed, be aware. Finally, we will continue walking to Praia Mole, and from there to the street where we will take a bus/Uber back to Barra. Difficulty level – 2 (on a rating of 1 to 5). Total of 3.4 km of the trail itself (Barra - Galheta) plus 1 km on the beach. We can do between 3 and 5 ha depending on your desire to enjoy the beach! In summer we can see several flowering bromeliads. There are two amazing panoramic views. In them we can see the Farol da Barra, Praia do Moçambique, Morro das Aranhas, - all in the north. A Lagoa da Conceição - west. Several small islands - east. At the second viewpoint - “Pedra da Boa Vista” - we have a spectacular angle of the Galheta and Mole beaches, dunes and Lagoa da Conceição and we can also see the hills of the south of the island - Armação. Really a privileged view of SC Island. Check out!

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.
