Hiking in Parque das Dunas

If you're in Tramandaí, don't miss this hiking trail through Parque das Dunas, where you'll encounter the coastal landscape of Rio Grande do Sul.

Description

At the scheduled time, we'll meet at the central square of the Nova Tramandaí neighborhood. After gathering, you'll need to hop into your own vehicle and follow the guide to the starting point of the hiking trail through Parque das Dunas.

Upon arrival, we'll hike through the sandy landscapes that separate the ocean from the coastal lagoons. During our 5-kilometer (3.1-mile) hike, we'll uncover the crescent moon shapes of the dunes. We will find out together the reason behind this phenomenon.

We'll climb to the summit of one of the dunes, allowing for a perspective of the Atlantic Ocean and the lakes with the Serra Gerais in the backdrop. This provides an opportunity for a memorable photo.

Next, we'll continue exploring the park, with the possibility of encountering the tuco tuco, an endemic species. We'll also visit the Fortaleza Lagoon, a destination for kitesurfing enthusiasts.

Finally, we'll return to the starting point of the hiking trail and rejoin our vehicles for the journey back to Tramandaí, concluding our 4.5 hours of adventure.
