Trilha da Ilha do Veado

Route

The Trilha da Ilha do Veado has Prainha de Piratininga as its reference point, from where you can take a boat transfer of about 450 meters to the island. From the landing point on the island, the start of the trail, you can climb the rocky shore through understory vegetation to the first fork, where you should keep left to reach the top of the island. After this point, turning right, the route continues for about 120 meters through dense forest. Next, hikers should take the bend to the left and descend toward the sea to the Mirante I da Ilha do Veado. Continuing on, turn right, following the rocky shore parallel to the sea and passing a bend to the right amid low-growing vegetation. The trail continues through vegetation made up of casuarinas until it reaches its end, the Mirante II da Ilha do Veado. Visitors can return to the landing point the same way they came or choose to go around the island. In that case, follow the rocky shore parallel to the sea from the Mirante I da Ilha do Veado until you reach a section where scrambling is required, and continue to the landing point.
