Fun trip to the peak with Alex. He was funny and knowledgeable. Great views from the top until we were enveloped by clouds. Great way to spend the morning.

Almost 3 weeks in Brazil and we did 3 total hikes. This was the best experience. Our guide Ian kept us well informed and entertained throughout. He set a great pace and made this very enjoyable, despite my friend and I being in different fitness levels. The views from the summit were spectacular.

Junior was incredibly helpful throughout the entire trip. It’s clear he’s a local who truly knows the region and has a genuine passion for ecotourism. He shared a wealth of knowledge with us about the local fauna and flora, and was always eager to offer great tips for exploring the area. His good humor made the experience even more enjoyable, and he even recommended some excellent restaurants afterward.
The trail itself was definitely intense, but well worth it. Junior guided us to some truly stunning spots, and the hike was impressively well-organized. We were able to see a lot in a relatively short amount of time, thanks to the thoughtful planning behind the route. I highly recommend it!
