Our day takes us to Garopaba, before being discovered by tourists, Garopaba was a small fishing village. During the 1970s, foreigners carrying backpacks and tents discovered this then small fishermen village, and started to lend the city a different air and color. Since 1525, Garopaba served as a shelter for the ships that passed by. The first inhabitants were the Carijó Indians, who gave the locality its name (ygara=canoe + paba=whereabouts, cove). In 1666, inhabitants of Azorean origin arrived in the place, who dedicated themselves to fishing and whale hunting. Garopaba was founded on December 19, 1846, with the construction of the mother church, the cemetery and the parish house. We will have the opportunity to capture amazing pictures from the historic area of Garopaba.

We are back to our Hostel to spend some time tasting the local food. We will do a critique and work with our pictures taken in Garopaba and learning how to enhance and improve the images, so we can obtain the final results.

On this day we will do a trekking that will take us to the Praia Ferrugem. This is definitely the beach for those with a mix: surfers, families, rock, reggae and pagode crowds, the modern mines, the fit boys, the healthy generation, the elderly... it has everything!

For nature lovers, we will explore the Dolphin Sanctuary, where there is a unique interaction that is only seen at the Dolphin Sanctuary in Laguna, SC Brazil, and in Greece. In this interaction, the dolphins surround the schools of fish and the fishermen throw the nets, keeping some fish and the others returning directly to the dolphins. But Laguna is super complete, where in addition to a lot of Nature, it also went through great historical events that marked the History of Brazil. The city is almost an open-air museum, with colonial houses that make the visitor travel back in time. It was also in Laguna that one of the most important characters in the history of Brazil was born: Anita Garibaldi, whose journey of struggle alongside the Italian Giuseppe Garibaldi is very well told in the city's museums. Of course, among a lot of nature and history, we will enjoy the delicious shrimps of Laguna, or fish of the season, in typical local dishes, served on the banks of Canal da Barra. In this complete tour of Laguna, we will also see the Walking Dunes and also the largest Lighthouse in the Americas, the Santa Marta Lighthouse. In this corner of the Atlantic, we will verify the millenary History of the Sambaquieiros Peoples, where one can find traces of human burials, funerary ornaments, lithic artifacts, bones, coals and food remains. Ah, because it is a natural phenomenon, there is no guarantee of seeing the dolphins, but we will do our best for you to feel this emotion! Drinks and desserts are also not included in the offered meal.
