About this experience
The beautiful small colonial town of Paraty lies 200km south of the coast of Rio de Janeiro in Brazil, one of Brazil’s most appealing destinations.
We offer 8-Day trekking program around the peninsulas and beaches, crossing Saco do Mamanguá, the one and only Brazilian Fjord, trekking and kayaking, visiting local fishermen communities and experiencing their food and lifestyle.
The adventure begins in the indigenous village of Paraty-Mirim, with a steep trail to reach the other side of the mountain, the Fjord's shore. Spend the night in a beach-and-jungle ecolodge to undertake the kaykaing challenge in the morning.
During the journey, overnights will be in the fishermen villages. The last day is a free day in Paraty village to get to know its charms.
