Why take this tour?

Breathtaking scenery from Ilha Grande's best panoramic viewpoint on an 8h tour On this unparalleled experience, we will guide you on a night hike through the Atlantic Forest to watch the spectacular sunrise at the very top of the Parrot's Peak (Pico do Papagaio) at 982m above sea level. Pico do Papagaio is the second highest peak of Ilha Grande but the one with the most amazing views of Ilha Grande and its surroundings. On clear days you will be able to see as far as "Pedra da Gavea" in Rio de Janeiro. The hike is arduous but the rewards are countless, starting from the hike itself that offers the unique opportunity of encounters with night wildlife on the way up and day wildlife on the way down, the indescribable views from the top, that depending on the date can also be great for stargazing and/or moon watching, to the best Sunrise views you can find in Ilha Grande. An unmissable experience for those who like adventures or looking for a no-ordinary tour.
