Serra do Corvo Branco
A dramatic mountain road cut into the ridge, with a rock notch 90 m deep, where a dirt and stone road winds steeply down, making it Urubici's most hair-raising self-drive route.
Serra do Corvo Branco is the stretch of SC-370 that descends from the Urubici plateau to Grão-Pará. Its best-known feature is the huge cutting made through the sandstone at the summit. Its walls rise about 90 m, making it one of the deepest rock cuttings on any Brazilian road. Beyond the cutting lie steep cliffs and the distant coastal plain. The descent has many sharp bends, and some sections are unpaved or newly paved mountain tracks with steep gradients. Experienced drivers are advised to travel in daylight, or simply drive to the cutting's viewpoint and return the same way. It lies about 30 km from Urubici, roughly 45 minutes' drive, and can be combined with Morro da Igreja on the same day. Admission is free.
