Day 1: Two Brothers / Dois Irmãos Hike 

The hike is named after two rock formations that look like two brothers, with stunning panoramic views of the coastline and the ocean. A relatively short hike, the trail takes about 30 min to reach the top! 

Day 2: Capim Açu Hike 

The trail starts at one of the most beautiful beaches on the island and takes you up to a steep hillside, through vegetation and a scenic viewpoint. While the hike is about 1.5km each way, you'll pass some unique plants and bird species. Bring tons of water to prevent overheating! 

Day 3: Full Day Guided Tour

Typical Itinerary for a Full-Day Island Tour: 

- Praia do Sancho: one of the most beautiful beaches in Brazil 

- Mirante dos Golfinhos: see dolphins swim and play! 

- Buraco da Raquel: natural pool formed by volcanic rocks, home to a variety of marine life

- Praia do Leão: yet another gorgeous beach for swimming and relaxing 

- Forte Nossa Senhora dos Remédios: historical fort that offers panoramic views of the island and ocean

- Sunset at Boldro: perfect way to end the day and watch the sun set over the ocean!
