Trails in Guarita Park

This option of taking a guided trail came up in the last year, and I consider it very important, because many people stay in risky places and even several have already ended up dying from getting too close to the walls if they lose their balance and fall.

So with the guide, the chances will decrease to zero if people follow the guidelines properly.

Of course, it's super easy to do the trail alone, however, don't take chances and pay attention to the signs (Watch out! No Tresing!), which are encountered along the way.

Opening hours of the Parque da Guarita trails

• From April to November – Thursdays at 9am and Saturdays at 3pm.
• From December to March – Mondays at 8 am and Saturdays at 4 pm.

Difficulties of the Guarita Trails

There are different degrees of difficulty, with different sizes and durations.

But I anticipate, you will go up the hill (lol) so a little effort will be required on any trail.

Tip: Have good hiking shoes, a cap or hat, light clothes and a bottle of water. And don't forget to put on your sunscreen!
