This long circuit around the ranch takes you into the wilderness of primary rainforest and deserted areas free of any human activity. You will feel the true nature of the origins.

The trail leads first to Campo Cheiroso and its unique landscapes then enters a big fazenda of cocoa, banana and piaçava, crossed by several streams. We cross the Tijuipe River (the route may be closed at the rainy season) and arrive in Manã, then we use a small portion of the BA 001 road to reach the entrance of the waterfall. After a bath and a lunch on the spot, the return is done by the Tijuipe bridge and narrow paths in the middle of the forest with a stop to discover another waterfall. The sandy alleys of Campo Cheiroso offer fantastic opportunities for galloping before slowing down to travel the famous Jungle Trail that will take us back to the stable.

Distance of 25km, 50% walk, 20% trot, 30% gallop
The trail goes first to the Bom Sossego Waterfall , then use a small portion of the BA 001 to reach Vila Marambaia where a ground road will take us to one of the most isolated beach of Itacaré which is also the estuary of Jeribucaçu river. You will have time for a relaxing swim and enjoy a grilled fish that you will have chosen yourself before it is cooked by local people.
