Description
Private Hike to Pedra da Macela for breathtaking 360° views at 1,840m. Watch sunrise over the ocean or sunset behind the mountains. 60 min from Paraty. Pure Brazilian magic.
Just 60 minutes from Paraty, an experience begins that reframes how you see Brazil's Green Coast. The Pedra da Macela trail follows a paved ascent, 2.2 km of steady hiking to 1,840 meters above sea level. At the summit the horizon opens in 360°: Ilha Grande Bay, the Serra do Mar and Bocaina ranges stretching all the way to the Paraíba Valley and the Serra da Mantiqueira. On special days, a cloud inversion drapes the coastline, and you feel as if you're walking above a sea of cotton.
The route is simple yet inclined; the pace is steady with short pauses to breathe, adjust, and take it all in. In about one hour each way, you reach the lookout, feel the crisp mountain air on your face, and watch the light transform the scene, second by second.
For travelers who want to experience Paraty like few ever do — grand landscapes, an accessible hike, and the freedom to choose between dawn or dusk — Pedra da Macela is the right call. Reserve your date and let nature close the deal: an infinite horizon, a sea of clouds, and the certainty you chose the right place at the right time.
