Join me on this amazing day of hiking through fishing villages on the Costa da Lagoa, from Florianopolis, where we will head to the historic fishing village of Costa da Lagoa, explore the culture and ruins of the local communities such as the Ratones community, sample the amazing and fresh local food on offer, and swim in the idyllic and mesmerizing waterfall of Costa da Lagoa.
Florianopolis is the capital city of the Southern Brazilian state of Santa Catarina, and is best known for its gorgeous sandy beaches and the Lagoa da Conceicao, a huge lagoon that is popular for swimming and other outdoor activities.
Our day begins in the morning as we meet at Lagoa da Conceicao and walk to the district of Canto de Aracas. From there we then head to the village of Costa da Lagoa, which is only accessible by trail or boat, and encounter the Ratones community, who have inhabited the area since the 1600’s and are fiercely proud of their customs and traditions.
Once at the village we will learn more about the fishing practices employed there, before indulging in a fresh and delicious lunch made up of the local produce, especially seafood!
After lunch it is time to hike again, as we meander past the ruins of houses and mills dating back some 300 years, before reaching the undoubted highlight of the day – a swim at the foot of the majestic and magnificent waterfall of Costa da Lagoa, enabling us to refresh and relax after our exertions.
We then finish the adventure by catching a boat back to Lagoa da Conceicao, weary and content at the fun we’ve had and the beauty we have seen.
This is one of the most beautiful ways possible to spend a day in Florianopolis – book now to experience!
Meet in morning at Lagoa da Conceicao, hike to Costa da Lagoa, eat lunch, hike to waterfall and swim there, catch boat back to Lagoa da Conceicao, finish

Climbing with guide Guillaume was absolutely a highlight of my 2-week Europe vacation. Originally, we were planning on climbing in the Calanques, but the park was closed due to wind and fire danger. Guillaume chose another amazing location (Pic de Bretagne) based on my climbing abilities and preferences and kindly offered train station pick-up and hotel drop off, which I appreciated very much. The multi-pitch route we did was not only fun but also the right amount of challenge, which I thoroughly enjoyed. The communication from the team (Gauthier) was prompt and clear—highly recommend!

Luis Silva was a great climbing guide and belayer! He taught me how to do moves that were difficult and encouraged me to try routes that were challenging for me! Because of his encouragement, I managed to complete these routes! I really enjoyed the climbs and completed 8 routes in the Sesimbra/Azoia area. The weather was perfect, no direct sun and cool enough to enjoy the climbs. Explore-Share made booking an outdoor climbing experience in Lisbon extremely easy. Luis, our guide, was fantastic, and the platform’s organization was flawless.

We had Léo as a guide for our day climb in Fonty. We were blessed with a knowledgeable, warm, and instructive guide. Communication with Léo and Ivan was smooth and swift. Explore-Share was excellent in arranging everything for our day climb. The communication was quick, and the platform was easy to use, making our adventure stress-free.

Patrick was a great guide. He took us on an intermediate Via Ferrata at Passo Sella. Renato was quick to respond with any outreach on the Explore-Share platform. The booking process was straightforward, and once Patrick was confirmed, all went well. It was a wonderful experience, and I’d highly recommend the platform.
