Pedra Furada Hike

The hike itself starts from your hotel going east along the beach for approximately 3 km. During low tide, one can often make it the entire way along Malhada and Pontal Beach (not recommended without a local guide that is familiar with the tides). Most prefer to go along the grassy trail just beyond the cliffs with panoramic views of the spectacular scenery in every direction.

The hike takes a minimum of 3 hours round trip depending upon the route and how long you spend at Pedra Furada. It is highly recommended wearing tennis shoes, hiking boots or at the very least beach sandals. There is some difficult terrain going over rocks along the way, not to mention the rare but occasional snake.

Once reaching the cliffs above Pedra Furada, the guide will help you descend to beach level where most take advantage of the photo opportunities. Between the beginning of June and end of July, the sun can often be captured going down in the opening of the rock which can be seen on many of the local area postcards.
