FIRST WEEK: BARRA DO LAGOA
During my first week in Floripa I stayed in the area of Barra do Lagoa (Yellow pin) at the Search Hostel, Great hostel for getting your job done, socializing and having a good rest.
During my stay at Barra do Lagoa I explored the following places:
To get here is very easy, it is only a short walk of approx. 15 minutes to the start of the easy trail to get to the natural pools of Barra Do Lagoa.
If you are staying at the Search House Hostel and you want to visit this place, simply ask where the Blue Bridge is, go in that direction cross the Blue Bridge, open Google Maps, follow its directions or read the wooden signs that lead the way, or simply ask somebody around and they will show you how to get to the start of the trail. I used Google Maps from the hostel to the trail and around there, I also asked and make sure I was on the right track.
I did this trail alone and it was completely safe, easy and beautiful. You can also jump into the water at the natural pools when the tide is low and enjoy a wonderful swim and view. **During the weekends it gets very crowded.
