El Dedo de Deus Hiking Tour

At the time of your choice, we'll meet at Parque das Laranjeiras and take a half-hour stroll to the starting point of our hiking route.

Upon arrival, we'll begin our journey down the hiking trail to El Dedo de Dios, which translates to 'God's Finger.' This mountain ridge is known as Pico da Canastra. Over two and a half hours, we'll cover over 3.5 kilometers (about 2.2 miles) to reach the top and admire the natural environment of the Serra Gaucha.

After enjoying the panoramic views, we will start the descent through El Dedo de Dios, where we will see vegetation typical of dry climates, including various types of cacti. Along the way, we will make stops to learn how to differentiate between some botanical species.

During the tour, we will listen to the sounds of howler monkeys and native birds, as this area features incredible biodiversity.

Finally, we will return to the starting point of the hike and then to Parque das Laranjeiras, arriving four and a half hours after pickup.
