What hikers ask us most before the trek.
The full circuit around the island is a multi-day trek that follows the coast through forest, beaches and fishing villages. We adjust the number of days to your pace, and shorter sections are also possible.
It is a moderate to demanding hike, with daily walks of around four to six hours on forest trails with climbs and descents. Good fitness and comfortable hiking shoes are essential.
In charming local hotels and guesthouses in the villages along the way. You keep your large bags in storage and walk with a light backpack.
No. There are no cars for visitors on the island, which is part of what makes the trek so peaceful.
From Rio de Janeiro, a road transfer to the mainland pier and a boat to Vila do Abraão, where the trek begins. AMTOURS organises the whole journey.
