Offered Services
Mamangua Sugarloaf Peak
Located in the Mamanguá tropical fjord, the only one of its kind in Brazil, Mamanguá peak stands over 500m above sea level. The only way into the fjord is by boat or by trail. We take a boat to the base of the peak. From there it’s a steep climb to the top and unmissable views of the whole region. On the way back we stop for lunch and a swim at islands and beaches in the bay.
