Capim Açu + Leão Beach Hiking Tour

Capim Açu + Leão Beach Hiking Tour

The tour begins with a hotel pick-up in Fernando de Noronha, proceeding to Sancho beach to start a 6.5-kilometer hiking route. Throughout the hike, which includes descents and ascents, participants will visit several viewpoints for vistas of the island, culminating at the Sapata Lighthouse, accessible only via this trail.

Following the lighthouse, the trail leads to the Capim Açu cavern, where seawater seeps through a rock opening, creating a unique atmosphere. A stop will be made here to enjoy its natural pools.

The hike continues for another 3 kilometers along a path of volcanic rocks to reach Leão beach, known for its scenic beauty and as a nesting site for sea turtles. After approximately seven hours of hiking, participants will be returned to their hotels.
