The only thing I wish were different was for an option to have a group tour, rather than being private. I feel as though it would lower the price, which was quite high for a solo traveler.”

★★★★★★★★★★4.2 · 17 reviews · 12 hours · from $118

Hike Santo Amaro Island from São Paulo through rainforest, wild beaches, a waterfall, and natural pools on a demanding 12-hour small-group tour.

“The excursion is really great but you have to be a) really fit for it and you need b) proper shoes, especially when it has been raining in the previous days (I slipped and fell, luckily I only got some scratches). Our guide Mauricio was very knowledgeable and nice. The beach and the track are beautiful. Really a great idea to bring spare cloths, as you will be sweating a lot.”
