Morro do Moreno
A small seaside hill in Vila Velha, a 30-minute walk to the top, with views over Vitória Island, the Terceira Ponte and the Penha Convent.
Morro do Moreno rises to about 184 m and sits at the northern end of Praia da Costa. It is the most popular viewpoint and hiking spot in Greater Vitória. The 20–40 minute climb from the foot of the hill, along a trail or dirt road, leads to a rocky summit with panoramic views of Vitória Island, the Terceira Ponte, the port and the Penha Convent on the hill opposite. Sunsets and night views are especially beautiful. The hill is also a site for hang-gliding, rock climbing and downhill biking. Admission is free. Bring plenty of drinking water, and if you descend in the evening, go with a companion and carry a flashlight.
