This way is 4.3 kilometers long. Both ways guide you along a steep coast through the Atlantic rainforest towards unique nature scenery: steep seaside bluffs; a miraculous beach surrounded by green hillside; a freshwater lagoon, which is optimal for swimming, and the emerald green water of the ocean, which is convenient for surfing.
