Our tour begins in Fortaleza, a charming neighborhood full of lush vegetation and crossed by a clear water canal, at the foot of the hills. From there we will ascend a hill through the Fortaleza - Galheta trail, which will lead us to another path towards our main destination: the Dólmen da Oração. The difficulty is moderate. As we go up, you can enjoy the view over Lagoa da Conceição and be amazed by the tropical flora and some butterflies characteristic of the region. Later, we will descend to another trail towards the archaeological site. Once there, you will discover an unparalleled and timeless place. Monoliths of various sizes, forming an ancient astronomical calendar, stand in the middle of nature, facing the open sea. First, you will find in the center the "Pedra Virada": a huge rock lying on top of other smaller ones, used for the observation of the southern summer solstice. In the same way, you will be able to admire the Central Menhir: a rock erected to mark the equinoxes. Finally, you can contemplate the ocean from the altar of the Dólmen da Oração, rocks arranged as a table. While you observe everything around you, I will tell you a little of the history of the island's ancestors. Before leaving the monoliths, you will enjoy a 360-degree view from the Ballena viewpoint: you will see the main beaches of the east of the island, the lake, the Joaquina dunes, Xavier Island, Campeche Island, and much more. We will take the same route back to our starting point, where you will have the option to taste the best of the region's typical cuisine in one of the restaurants on the banks of the Barra da Lagoa canal.
