São José dos Ausentes Day Trip

On this day trip to São José dos Ausentes, we'll visit the tallest point in Rio Grande do Sul and admire its landscapes.

Description

At the scheduled time, we'll pick you up from your hotel in Cambará do Sul and travel in a 4x4 vehicle to São José dos Ausentes. We will share the history of the town, which was originally the largest ranch in the region, covering over 1000 square kilometers but was abandoned.

Upon arrival, we'll head to Pico do Monte Negro and begin a short hiking route of 4 kilometers (2.5 miles) to reach the highest point in the state at 1043 meters (3421 feet) above sea level, offering views of the Monte Negro Canyon and, on clear days, the Rio Grande do Sul and Santa Catarina coast.

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

Finally, we will return to Cambará do Sul, concluding the day trip after approximately 10 hours of activity.
