Day 3 - Into the Mountains and Local Markets
We'll start our final day with a guide-led hike up the Serra da Tiririca State Park. Venture through native trees and local fauna and reach the viewpoint for an awe-inspiring panorama.

It's a treasure trove of handcrafted artifacts, creative merchandise, and gastronomical delights. Wind down the visit with a hearty meal at a local restaurant serving traditional Brazilian cuisine.
