For those who want to experience Floripa beyond the beach, the trails reveal incredible landscapes and a different travel rhythm. After a day like that, nothing better than returning to a comfortable and well-located apartment.
Trails for beginners
To start easy, choose short trails at your own pace, with stops for water and photos. Opt for mornings and dry days to reduce the risk of slipping on rocks and mud. Shoes with good grip are very helpful. Remember the INSECT REPELLENT.

Intermediate trails with uphill sections
More stamina, more reward.
Here you'll find trails of 3 to 7 kilometers, with more uphill sections and stretches that require stamina. Bring an energy snack, take extra water, and save energy for the descent. After recent rain, be extra careful on the slippery path. Remember the INSECT REPELLENT.

Classic trails on the island
To reserve a whole day
These trails are designed for a full day, with longer stretches and a more rugged natural feel. In Naufragados, the trail leads to a lighthouse and a wild beach; at Pico da Coroa, the focus is on panoramic views. Start early, bring water and snacks, and respect the signs, as the return trip is usually tiring. Remember the INSECT REPELLENT.

Water trail in the lagoon
Water trail between lagoon and park.
For a different kind of adventure, try the Hydrotrail in Lagoa da Conceição connecting to the Rio Vermelho State Park. It's an 18.78-kilometer one-way trail, with walking and crossing through shallow water, passing through mangroves and coastal vegetation. The effort is moderate, with almost zero elevation gain (+15 and -14 meters) and a total time of around 5 hours, including stops. Prefer low tide, check the tide and weather beforehand, and avoid heavy rain or high tide. Bring shoes that can get wet, sunscreen, water, and insect repellent.

If you need trail guides
If you want more peace of mind, hiring a guide can make things easier: someone will set the pace, reinforce safety, and help with navigation, especially on longer trails like Lagoinha do Leste. Look for accredited guides, confirm what's included, the group size, the meeting point, and whether the contact is indeed via WhatsApp. On the day of the hike, check the forecast and follow the guide's instructions..

Safety and preparedness
Checklist to avoid problems
Before setting off, make a mini-plan: choose a dry day, avoid trails after rain, and start in the morning to avoid the heat and crowds. Bring water (2 to 3 liters), high-SPF sunscreen, insect repellent, snacks, a hat, and non-slip shoes. Inform someone of your itinerary and avoid isolated trails alone, as cell phone signal may be unreliable. For navigation, use apps like Wikiloc and respect road signs.
