Golden tip: go with a guide on the trails
For Lagoinha do Leste, Rio Vermelho, and other trails with steep/slippery sections, we strongly recommend hiring a local guide. It greatly improves safety, navigation, weather awareness, and decision-making—especially after rain.
For hikes and waterfalls, especially the more “wild” ones or those with steep stretches, going with a local guide is highly recommended due to: fast-changing weather slippery rocks (especially after rain) trail forks and low/no cell signal areas river/current risks Local Guide (sent before check-in)
A few days before check-in, we send a local guide with restaurant recommendations and suggested nearby tours and attractions.
