This day excursion to São José dos Ausentes will take you to the highest elevation in Rio Grande do Sul, where breathtaking panoramas of the southern Brazilian coastline await.
Description
At the designated time, we will collect you from your hotel in Cambará do Sul and embark on an exhilarating ride in a 4x4 vehicle to São José dos Ausentes. Have you ever wondered about the origin of the town's name in the heart of Rio Grande do Sul?
During our journey, we'll share insights into the intriguing past of this location. Initially, São José dos Ausentes was known as the largest ranch in the area, spanning more than 1000 square kilometers (386 square miles) until it was deserted by its owners, leading to its current state.
Upon reaching São José dos Ausentes, we will make our way to the Pico do Monte Negro, where we will begin a brief 4-kilometer (2.5 miles) hiking trail that leads us to the pinnacle of the state.
At an elevation of 1043 meters (3421 feet), join us for captivating views over the Monte Negro Canyon. On a clear day, glimpses of both the Rio Grande do Sul and Santa Catarina coast can be seen.
Following this, we will return via 4x4 to a local farm where a delicious buffet lunch awaits. After we have satisfied our appetites, our next stop will be the Rodrigues waterfall, where we will have the chance to discover the beauty of Cerro Maracujá and explore the scenic meadows of Cima da Serra.
Eventually, we will make our way back to Cambará do Sul, concluding this memorable day trip to São José dos Ausentes at your hotel after approximately 10 hours of adventure.
