Overview

The trilha da Fonte do Céu connects the forest in the interior of the island to the village of Gamboa via a path of approximately forty minutes. It's a slower-paced experience, for those who want to exchange the succession of beaches for shade, fresh water, land and the daily life of a coastal community.

The experience

Departure takes place at 2pm, meeting at Segunda Praia. The first section follows a trail of around forty minutes to the source of Fonte do Céu, where the group can take a break and cool off in the middle of the forest.

After the spring, the path continues to Gamboa. Arrival is followed by approximately an hour and a half free time to explore the beach, try the clay bath and choose a place to rest or consume something on your own.

The return to Morro de São Paulo can be done on foot or by boat, depending on the tide. The experience requires a willingness to walk on natural terrain and is organized with a minimum number of participants.
