Hiking Lagoinha do Leste and Morro Coroa
A stunning secluded beach in Florianópolis.
Service Description
Lagoinha do Leste is considered one of the wildest beaches in Florianópolis. Accessible only by trail, it offers a contrast between the open sea, a calm lagoon, and the lush vegetation of the Atlantic Forest. Our hike begins in the traditional neighborhood of Pântano do Sul. From there, we follow the trail that leads to Morro da Coroa, one of the most impressive viewpoints on the island. With a peculiar rock formation and breathtaking views, it is the perfect place to take photos and feel the grandeur of nature. During the tour, you will be invited to learn more about the ethnobotany of the region: medicinal plants used by generations of local residents, popular knowledge, and practices inherited from indigenous peoples and traditional communities. In addition to nature, the trail also offers a deep dive into the culture and history of Florianópolis. We will recall the tales of artist and writer Franklin Cascaes, who recorded the imagination of the islanders and their stories of witches, mysteries, and enchantments that still inhabit the popular imagination today. Upon arrival at Lagoinha do Leste, your efforts will be rewarded with free time to relax on the sand, walk to the lagoon, or cool off with a delicious swim in the sea or lagoon. The experience is led by specialized guides with extensive experience in trails, culture, and the environment.
