What To Expect
We started this incredible adventure leaving the Paraty pier. We board a fast boat that will take us to Praia do Cruzeiro, in Saco do Mamanguá, in approximately 40 minutes. Once there, we will begin the 466 meter ascent trail, from the base to Pico Pão de Açúcar. The walk will last around 1h15min and the trail can be difficult, with some steep sections. Upon reaching the top, we will have time to rest and admire the unparalleled landscape that offers a unique view from the top of the rock. We will remain there for around 40 minutes. The return journey takes approximately 40 minutes to Praia do Cruzeiro, where we can enjoy a beautiful swim and an optional lunch in a typical and traditional Caiçara restaurant. Attention: the restaurant does not accept electronic payment methods, only cash, so be prepared. After this stop, we will return by speedboat to the Paraty pier.

5.00Tamires' service at the reception was very good, attentive and tried to explain the script well. We did 3: guided tour of the city, Peak of the Sugar Bread (both with Bernardino) and Trinity with Luis and the driver Alexandre. Everyone was great, calm, no rush, partners, main Bernardino, because it was a 50-minute rise, quite steep and on the birthday of my wife.
Superb exploration!

5.00We had an incredible trip hiking up the (not that one!) Pão de Açúcar. Luan our guide was fantastic: knowledgeable, professional and calm. We loved it and the views were spectacular. We then went to a tiny, empty beach. Would strongly recommend!

5.00The place has great energy! Besides the wonderful view. Lucas was our guide, very careful and learned to respect our rhythm. We made the tour with the palombeta boat. At some times it is necessary to rest, so we climbed the track in 1:30 hours, it was worth the effort. Lunch at the santas restaurant, or Alex's restaurant that served the best shrimp on the island, is in the saco da Velha. Unforgettable view and taste
