About the trail to the Slave Cave

The experience begins at Ilha do Japonês, with a light and flat trail to Praia Brava. From there, on low tide days, it is possible to follow the rocks to the hidden Praia da Fenda, a quiet corner between the cliffs. After returning, the trail continues along easily accessible paths and native vegetation to the historic Caverna dos Escravos.

The trail continues to Ponta do Chapéu, a lookout point with an open view of the sea, and ends at the isolated Praia Fofa, also known as Pedra Polida. The trail is almost entirely flat, alternating between covered and open sections, and the entire experience lasts between 3 and 4 hours, including stops for swimming and contemplation.
