Here we will be able to feel Morro's distinctive island and bahian atmosphere.

Day 2

place Full Day Gamboa. Optional: Rowing Canoe Ride, Mangroove hike or horse riding

You will wake up on your second day to the sounds of the island, including ocean waves, boats, and birds. Throughout your second day you will enjoy the west side of the island, which is full of nature and native culture. The hike from Morro de Sao Paulo to Gamboa offers a mix of hills, beaches, cascades, beautiful sights as well as clay and sea bathing. Take this opportunity to discover Gamboa, a calm and lovely fishing town with charming people and beautiful beaches. Your guide will pick you up at 9:00 a.m., where our guide will be waiting for the group. We will take the path that goes by Fuente Grande and continue through different neighborhoods of Morro, until we get to the path that leads to the "Fonte do Céu" cascade. Before leaving Morro's last houses we will be able to appreciate beautiful views of the continent on the other side, and contemplate the calm waters of this side of the island. Once out of Morro, we will reach part of the APP (Permanent Protection Area of the Tinharé and Boipeba islands) which houses native species. We will go on up to the Fonte do Céu to take a revitalizing fresh water splash and spend some time listening to the sound of the water and observing the many birds and other species that frequent the place. You can even quench your thirst by drinking from the “Spring in the Sky”. After getting our strength back, we'll continue along the road to Gamboa and go down to the beach between the beaches of “Praia Linda” and “Praia d´Argila”. Here, we will be welcomed at a typical beach shack, the for a delicious welcome drink or refreshing coconut water to take in the beauty before continuing north along the beach to the close-by clay wall. This clay is well known for its beneficial properties for the skin. Here we'll have a clay bath and wash off in the calm and warm waters of Gamboa. At this time, it will be around 12:00 p.m., and you will probably be getting quite hungry. Until 5:00 p.m. you will have free time to get to know Gambo
