Hiking to Lagoa Amélia

One of the lightest rain forest treks we can offer. Gets you in touch with the primary forest's fauna and flora and you will still back in time for lunch.

Go trekking through the high altitude Atlantic rainforest to the volcanic crater of Lagoa Amelia. The crater has accumulated centuries of rainwater and on top lies a thick tapestry of vegetation which has made it possible to walk on top of this 'lake', although it may wobble a bit…
Our guide will explain the use of different plants in traditional medicine and cooking and you will be able to taste the wild cinnamon, wild raspberries and others along the walk.

Do bear in mind that it may rain and that the trail may become slippery. Not recommended for children or for people that are not physically fit.
The main attraction of this trek is, however, the virgin rain forest that surrounds you during the 4 hours
it takes to get to Lagoa Amelia and back.
