Riding the Waves at Macumba Beach

As a seasoned surfer, I’ve had the privilege of riding some of the most exhilarating waves across Central America. But when I heard about the Surf+Trilha experience in Recreio dos Bandeirantes, I knew I had to check it out. The promise of a safe and fun surfing session, combined with a scenic trail, was too tempting to resist.

Arriving at Macumba Beach, I was greeted by the warm sun and the rhythmic sound of the waves crashing against the shore. The beach was alive with energy, a mix of locals and tourists all eager to catch the perfect wave. Our instructor, a seasoned surfer with a laid-back demeanor, made everyone feel at ease. Whether you were a beginner or someone like me with years of experience, he tailored the session to suit your level.

The waves at Macumba were gentle yet thrilling, perfect for honing your skills or simply enjoying the ride. As I paddled out, the familiar rush of excitement washed over me. Each wave was a new adventure, a dance with the ocean that never gets old. The session flew by, leaving me with a renewed appreciation for the sport and the beauty of this Brazilian gem.

A Scenic Climb to Pedra do Pontal

After our surf session, it was time to explore the trails around the beach. The climb to Pedra do Pontal was a gentle ascent, offering breathtaking views at every turn. Our guide, a local with an infectious enthusiasm for the area, shared stories and insights that brought the landscape to life.

The trail was dotted with photo stops, each one more stunning than the last. From the top, the view was nothing short of spectacular. The rock divides two beaches, creating a hidden oasis that feels like a secret world. It’s moments like these that remind me why I love the nomadic lifestyle, always discovering new corners of the world.

As we descended, the sun began to set, casting a golden glow over the landscape. It was the perfect end to a day filled with adventure and discovery. The combination of surfing and hiking offered a unique way to connect with nature and experience the beauty of Recreio dos Bandeirantes.

Embracing the Nomadic Spirit

Reflecting on my day with Surf+Trilha, I couldn’t help but feel grateful for the opportunity to explore such a vibrant part of Brazil. The experience was a reminder of the joy that comes from trying something new and embracing the unknown.

For those of you who have followed my journey through the surf spots of Central America, you know that the ocean is my sanctuary.
