On October 23 and 24, 2025, Vitória will host the 1st Capixaba Trails Network Seminar, a meeting that will bring together municipalities, public and private institutions, as well as entrepreneurs linked to ecotourism and trails. The program will feature roundtables, technical meetings, and a practical signage workshop. A highlight of the event will be the consolidation of the Capixaba Coastal Trail, which will integrate 14 municipalities along the coast and will be part of the Oiapoque x Chuí National Trail, strengthening sustainable tourism and environmental conservation in Espírito Santo.
Target audience: municipal, state, and federal environmental and tourism civil servants working in ES, entrepreneurs working in the ecotourism and trails area, researchers, NGOs working in the area, RPPN owners. We need to ensure this audience.
