El Dedo de Dios Hiking Tour

We will meet at Parque das Laranjeiras at your chosen time for a half-hour stroll to the hiking route's starting point.

Once we arrive, we'll begin our descent on the hiking trail to El Dedo de Dios, which translates to 'God's Finger'. This mountain ridge is also referred to as Pico da Canastra. Over two and a half hours, we will cover over 3.5 kilometers (about 2.2 miles) to reach the summit and enjoy the natural environment of the Serra Gaucha.

After taking in the panoramic views, we will descend through El Dedo de Dios, observing vegetation typical of dry climates and various types of cacti. Throughout the hike, we will make stops to differentiate between some botanical species.

During the tour, participants will be able to hear the sounds of howler monkeys and some native birds, as this area is known for its biodiversity.

We will conclude our hike and return to Parque das Laranjeiras, arriving four and a half hours after pickup.
