About Mirante dos Caetés
The Mirante dos Caetés (viewpoint) is a lookout point in the Caetés neighborhood, in the rural area of Camboriú. It sits on a rise next to the Estrada Geral dos Caetés and is a quick stop if you are touring the municipality's countryside.
From the viewpoint, the view opens over the valley: hills covered in native forest, farmland on the flat valley floor and the surrounding mountains. On clear days you can see Balneário Camboriú in the distance, toward the coast.
The space is simple, with an area enclosed by railings and benches to sit and enjoy the scenery. It is good for photos and a rest, which is why it is a common stop for cyclists and hikers in the area.
The viewpoint is on the way to the Gruta de Santa Paulina and is part of the Caminhos de Santa Paulina tourist route. Nearby are other countryside attractions, such as the Cachoeira Seca and the Igreja Imaculada Conceição, so you can put together a half-day outing through the countryside.
