Jacinto Machado – SC Destination Caminho dos Cânions
How to get there
Arrive via SC-108 and follow the local accesses to the main settlement. The walks on the slopes use rural roads; arrange the meeting point with the guide of the chosen trail.
How many days
Two days allow visiting the museum and dedicating another period to a hike. Add a day if you also want to do the Trilha do Tigre Preto, avoiding combining several long trails in the same day.
When to go
A day without heavy rain favors Morro do Carasal. On the Trilha do Tigre Preto, the program also depends on river conditions, assessed by the guide.
Do you need a car?
A car or hired transport helps reach Engenho Velho, Serra da Pedra and the trailheads. The museum is located in the urban area.
