ITINERARY

RBA05PIC

Near the Canto Lookout, through a hidden trail between the trees, we arrive at the Antero Lookout.

 

Antero Simas Soares, a former whaler, dedicates his time today sighting whales from his lookout, in Serra de São Mateus. From here, his gaze can reach up to 40 km, with the aid of a pair of binoculars. Once he sights a whale, he communicates its location through a radio to the whale watching boats.

 

We invite you to sit next to Mr. Antero and experience whale sighting, while you also get to know his great life story.
