Trilha da Pedra do Santo Inácio

Route

The reference point for the Trilha da Pedra do Santo Inácio is the Guarda Ambiental headquarters in PARNIT, from where hikers should follow Estrada Nossa Senhora de Lourdes toward the Maceió neighborhood for approximately 800 meters, passing the archway of the old housing development, until they find an entrance on the left, the start of the trail. From there, climb the hillside to a fork, where you need to take the route on the right, parallel to a barbed-wire fence, until you reach a steep climb, which must be done by scrambling and leads to the Mirante da Pedra do Santo Inácio, at the end of the trail. To return, visitors can choose an alternative path: after descending from the summit of Morro Santo Inácio, take the route on the right until you reach the barbed-wire fence, where you need to turn right and follow the path to the Guarda Ambiental headquarters.
