Lagoinha do Leste Hiking and Photography Adventure
We will meet at Pântano do Sul to hike to Lagoinha do Leste Natural Park in the south of Florianopolis. The park is an opportunity for us to get in touch with the local flora and fauna. Before we start hiking I will show you pictures of animals and plants, such as monkeys, toucans, blue jays. We will try to spot them on the way to Morro da Coroa (Crown Hill), which takes around 2 hours. There, we will stop to contemplate the spectacular view and for a photography session at Florianopolis' famous postcard. Then, we will go down the steep mountain to get to the beach and enjoy the rest of the morning by the local lake. Next, we will hike back for around 1 hour and 30 minutes to the starting point. Finally, we will show you the best local restaurants for you to recharge your batteries.Things to consider:- The experience is led by at least one of our team's tour guides. Isaac, a historian, and Andrey, a professional photographer.- The trail is difficult, so you need to be in good physical shape and health conditions;- The estimated duration of the tour is of 6 hours;- We will hike approximately 6 km;- You can choose to go back by boat if the natural conditions allow. The boat service is operated by the local fishermen association and their prices may vary and are not included in the price.
