Morro da Pedra Branca Trail Departing from Sertão do Maruim, in São José

Climb Pedra Branca, a granite wall roughly 500 meters high located between São José and Palhoça, visible from much of Grande Florianópolis. The 6 km round-trip trail departs from Sertão do Maruim in São José, gaining 487 meters in elevation across stepped sections and uneven terrain to reach the viewpoint, where you can see Ilha de Santa Catarina from north to south. It involves about 5 hours of significant physical effort, with a minimum age of 10 years. This private departure is for up to 4 people, including a CADASTUR guide, safety briefing, and insurance; transportation, food, and drinks are not included.
