Description

At the indicated time, we will pick you up from your hotel in Cambará do Sul and travel in a 4x4 vehicle to São José dos Ausentes. During the journey, we will discuss the history of the town, which was once the largest ranch in the region, covering over 1000 square kilometers (386 square miles) before being abandoned.

Upon arrival, we will head to Pico do Monte Negro to start a short 4-kilometer (2.5 miles) hiking route to the highest point in the state. At 1043 meters (3421 feet) above sea level, we will enjoy views of the Monte Negro Canyon and possibly see the Rio Grande do Sul and Santa Catarina coast on a clear day.

After the hike, we will return by 4x4 to a farm for a buffet-style lunch. Following lunch, we will visit the Rodriges waterfall and explore the area, including Cerro Maracujá and the fields of Cima da Serra.

Eventually, we will return to Cambará do Sul, concluding this day trip to São José dos Ausentes at your hotel after approximately 10 hours of activity.
