Trecho 02 - Morro do Caixão: Praia do Valtellina x Praia Lagunar do Caiçara (Caminhada | Rota Cabista)

This section runs along the Araruama Lagoon, where some native species of fauna and flora can be found, such as the sand lizard, the beach butterfly, the white-headed cactus, and endemic orchids. However, the predominant species is the exotic Casuarina equisetifolia. The main attraction of this section is Morro do Caixão, a dense dune formation situated in the midst of the restinga, from where one can enjoy a 360º view of the surroundings.
