Fortress Canyon Trail
It is possible to do 3 trails inside the park, all on the same day. They are very short and you will not need a guide.
However, be careful when approaching the walls. There have been cases of people falling, in situations where they were taking pictures and losing their balance, and to gain access to the valley, only by helicopter or by qualified professionals.
Tip: take this tour in the morning, there will be less chance of fog.

Morro dos Goats
place with 360° view Praia Grande and several canyons in addition to neighboring cities.
Easily accessible and usually done without a guide.
The hill itself is small, however the view from it is perfect!
Tip: You can go upstairs with items to have a picnic, enjoy the sunset or even the sunrise.
Initially it has a steep climb, about 15 minutes and then it is flat.
One negative point and the lack of signage to know where Morro dos Cabritos is, you will have to follow through a gps, but there will always be cars parked on site.
Crowned Indian Canyon
Getting to know this canyon is great for a late afternoon with a mate or sunrise!
It has basalt walls 700 meters high and with the opening of a beautiful crevice overlooking the entire valley.
In front of you are the twin waterfalls, visible from the viewpoint, about 600 meters beyond its 1.5 kilometers long.

It is the most famous and considered one of the most beautiful in the region. I confess that I find it difficult to measure the beauties, because they are all beautiful and each one with a unique charm.

Have a colonial coffee
I recommend the Vô Marçal's Café and Vó Maria's Crafts, it's simply that place you've been transported 80 years ago, into a past you might not have had the opportunity to know so well.
Homemade food, made in a wood stove, the place is an old house built in 1945, all made of wood.
You will be delighted!
