You step off the road in Laranjeiras and the town’s hum gives way to green. The guide checks straps and points the way: a narrow track that drops into the Atlantic Forest. Leaves slap the trail in the humid air, insects write thin percussion, and a river—cool and daring—threads across the path where you pause to sip and listen. The hike is short but immediate: the jungle presses close, roots and boulders rearrange your footing, and every turn promises a spit of blue between the trees.
moderate.
7 hours.
Moderately fit: able to walk 1.5–2 hours on uneven, humid singletrack and manage short, steep sections.
The trail is about 2.5 miles (4 km) one-way and typically takes 1–1.5 hours depending on pace and stops.
The path is considered moderate—families and older hikers in reasonable health can do it, but expect uneven footing and some short inclines.
Yes—there’s an optional boat return from Sono to Laranjeiras for about BRL 40 per person; it’s usually arranged locally and requires cash.
Lunch is not included; the village has small eateries offering fresh fish and local dishes for around BRL 40—bring cash for these services.
Both—repellent for the forested sections and reef-safe sunscreen for the beach; apply before arrival and reapply as needed.
No—this tour requires meeting at Agência Paraty Tours (Av. Roberto Silveira, 479). Guests must arrange their own transport to the departure point.
The trail crosses protected sections of the Mata Atlântica within the AIPA Cairuçu; caiçara communities have fished these coves for generations.
Visitors are encouraged to bring out what they bring in, use reef-safe sunscreen, and support local services to maintain the village economy and reduce pressure on fragile coastal ecosystems.
