Itinerary
Ride on a tram upwards Mont Serrat which is a peak that has a superb panoramic viewpoint from the former old casino on the top of it. The access to the hill is made by a funicular system (called the cable car of Monte Serrat) that connects the top hill to the center of the city and departs every 20 minutes. From its viewpoint, it is possible to have a complete view of the port, the urban part of Santos and surroundings, Bertioga Canal, Estuary and Barnabé and Santo Amaro Islands.
Have a breakfast at the stylish coffee shop of the coffee museum in Santos, and visit it to learn about the importance of the coffee for Brazilian socio-economic development. The coffee shop offers the opportunity to try out all the types and aromas of coffees grounded right before drinking.
Take a sightseeing in the beautiful restored historic center of Santos and drive along the 8-km long of continuous, wide and flat strip of sandy beaches. Santos major highlight is the largest beach garden in the world, recorded in the Book of Records with 5335 meters long, full of flowers and carefully treated trees. Santos is also home to the largest port in Latin America where a huge portion of the Brazilian GDP passes through at a never-ending coming and going the transatlantics.
Admire the marvelous view of the shoreline of Santos and the city of "Saint Vincent" (First permanent Portuguese settlement in Brazil) from Niemeyer’s monument on the top of Porchat Island hill. You'll be able to see the whole shore, ships on the horizon, waves being formed, people like ants and paragliders flying around!
Guarujá is a classic Brazilian beachfront. A combination of many family-operated businesses, snack bars and restaurants.

Traveler reviews
An epic paddling and camping week in the Tasmanian South West Wilderness.
The Roarings Forties 8 days kayaking expedition into the South West Wilderness of Tasmania, Australia, is a once a lifetime experience. Flying into the wilderness area at Maleleuca gives you a first idea of the majestic region you will be in for the week. Stable double kayaks, good camping equipment and our two guides Rob and Cane took us on a circular route from Bathurst Harbour to the open seas around the Sea Breakers Islands, making the best of the weather conditions which can be very variable. After a good day's paddle we were presented with a glass of wine and a freshly cooked meal! You will need a certain level of fitness and a sense of adventure for this amazing trip but it is epic, and I thank Roarings Forties for this wonderful and beautiful experience!
