Praia do Pouso x Praia de Santo Antônio

Route

From Praia do Pouso, take the T11, which leads to Lopes Mendes. Along the T11, there will be a sign marking the turnoff to Santo Antônio. The trail starts out closed in by dense forest, passes a bamboo grove on the right and crosses a stream. There is a fork that may go unnoticed; the turnoff to the right leads to Praia do Caxadaço. Do not take it without a guide: it is dangerous, poorly maintained, not an official trail, and there is a risk of accidents. Keep left (the more defined path you were already on) if you notice the fork. The trail will then start to descend until it reaches the stream that runs along the beach (water not drinkable).
