Before you go
A little planning leaves more time to enjoy the journey.
Choose dates according to the weather forecast and the type of outing. Weekdays outside of holidays help organize a trip with more flexibility; keep alternatives in case conditions prevent outdoor activities.
We suggest three days to alternate the main outings without rush. On a short visit, choose one nucleus and avoid crossing the entire region; more time allows you to spread nature and culture across separate days.
Choose a base in São Miguel do Gostoso, close to the outings you want to prioritize. Check the difference between the central area and more remote zones: routes to beaches, waterfalls or natural areas should be included in the planning. Before booking, confirm the availability of round-trip transportation.
Take your trash with you, follow the signs and support local businesses. In natural areas, follow the visiting guidelines.

One day allows you to choose one nucleus and its nearest sights. To see different areas, we suggest splitting the itinerary over more days and taking the transfers into account.
Check the weather forecast and access conditions. Choose routes compatible with the group and confirm the scheduling of sites with controlled visits.
A car or hired transport makes it easier to combine different locations. For urban sections, walking may be more comfortable; confirm the alternatives for each outing.
