Capim Açu + Leão Beach Hiking Tour

  • 1 review | 6 travellers
    The trail is beautiful. Quite difficult (more so because of the rocks for those who want to go to Praia do Leão. For those who don't want to go to Praia do Leão, there is the option of returning and not doing the rocks).

Capim Açu + Leão Beach Hiking Tour

Ready for a day of sports and nature? We'll pick you up at your hotel in Fernando de Noronha to head towards Sancho beach, where we'll start a 6.5-kilometer hiking route that will take us to some uniquely beautiful places. 

During the hike, full of descents and ascents, we'll pass by some viewpoints to admire the views of both sides of the island of Fernando de Noronha. We'll continue to the Sapata Lighthouse, accessible only through this trail. 

From this point, we'll begin a descent to the Capim Açu cavern, an opening in the rock where the seawater seeps through, creating a magical atmosphere. Here we'll make a stop to enjoy its natural pools.

Afterward, we'll continue walking another 3 kilometers along a path of volcanic rocks until we reach Leão beach, one of the most beautiful beaches on the island. But we won't be alone... here we can see sea turtles that come to lay their eggs in the sand! 

After seven hours of walking, we'll take you back to your hotel.
