The flexibility of choosing your hiking distance and the convenient hourly boat service back to Lagoa are highly praised, making it an accessible and enjoyable experience for many.
"Highly recommended little trail. You can start out of Lagoa and decide how far you wanna go. Every couple of meters there is a little boat bridge from where you can take a boat back into town. They go every hour and cost 15 RS. The track itself is easy and fun and shady. Lots of vegetation to see, I saw even monkeys. You cross houses and villages and small restaurant and shops come along as well."
Valentin Paul
"Very enjoyable hike, going through the forest (mainly) with bits by the water where the boats stop by. Bring water as there is only one spot midway where you can buy some. After about 6-7k (depending on where you start from) you reach a little village with restaurants and access to the waterfall where you can swim. Super enjoyable reward! Take a boat back to the center of Lagoa (15 reias)"
