The Route

The Atlantic Forest Trail is being implemented by several hands following the entire mountain range of Serra do Mar and reaching Serra Geral, between the Desengano State Park (RJ) and the Aparados da Serra National Park (RS) including many places of great potential for tourism and nature conservation. In the future it is possible that the route will extend even further, covering other important areas of the Atlantic Forest.

The route connects several existing and historical trails inside and outside protected areas and visiting some of the most famous Brazilian natural sceneries. You can now hike the whole Atlantic Forest Trail using rural roads or highway shoulders to connect some sections that have not yet been implemented.
