Description

The Cabista Route is a Long-Distance Trail that crosses Arraial do Cabo, a paradise municipality in the Fluminense Lakes Region. Divided into nine sections, the Cabista Route encompasses about 82 km of paths for hiking and 76 km for bike touring. This Long-Distance Trail was developed to connect the four districts of Arraial do Cabo: Figueira, Caiçara, Monte Alto, and Pernambuca, to the urban area of the city. Additionally, the Cabista Route connects with the trails of neighboring municipalities Araruama and Cabo Frio, thus integrating the Volta ao Rio initiative, a circular Long-Distance Trail aimed at traversing the entire state of Rio de Janeiro. The route takes visitors through various coastal ecosystems, including mangroves, restinga, wetlands, dunes, maritime and lagoon beaches, rocky shores, and forest fragments. Along the way, there is an abundant presence of birdlife, as well as native fauna and flora species of the region, such as the sand lizard, the white-headed cactus, the beach butterfly, and some endemic orchids. The Cabista Route passes through both well-known attractions and lesser-known spots in Arraial do Cabo, such as the Araruama Lagoon, Ponta das Coroinhas, Acaíra, Paraíso, and Cabeça, the lagoon beaches of Pneu, Caiçara, Borba, and Monte Alto, Ilha do Amor, the beaches Grande, Brava, do Forno, dos Anjos, Secreta, and do Pontal, the viewpoints of Baleia and Cabocla, Boqueirão, Prainhas do Pontal do Atalaia, Prainha, Pedra do Rato, Lagoa de Sal, and the hills of Caixão do Miranda.

Route

The Rota Cabista starts at the Praia Lagunar de Pernambuca, heading toward the Condomínio Villaggio Valtellina, from where it continues to the Praia Lagunar do Caiçara, passing the Morro do Caixão midway. It then runs along the edge of the Laguna de Araruama toward Novo Arraial, from where it sets off for the district of Figueira, passing its square and beach. From the Praia da Figueira, the Rota Cabista route continues to Monte Alto, on a mostly flat route. Next, visitors continue to the Praia Grande and then to the Praia dos Anjos, covering the entire Pontal do Atalaia area, with its small beaches and lookouts. From the Praia dos Anjos, the route heads to the Praia do Forno, toward the Ponta da Prainha, until it reaches the Prainha itself, where the last section begins, continuing to the Praia do Pontal, passing several attractions along the way, until it ends in Barra Nova.
