Hiking in Brazil - Juatinga Eco-Reserve
As the media keeps reminding us Brazil will host the
Soccer World Cup in 2014 and the Olympics in 2016. But how much do we really
know about this huge country?
On this hiking and kayaking trip we embark on a fascinating journey through Brazilian history, seeing at first hand how Indian, European and African heritages have influenced Brazil from before its discovery by the Portuguese to modern times. Along the route we learn about traditional fishing and farming techniques, colonial architecture, sport (the home of beach soccer!), food, music and dance.
This stunning and original 7 day coastal hike on Rainforest trails across the Juatinga Peninsular Eco-reserve starts and finishes in the colonial town of Paraty, south of Rio de Janeiro.
We spend the days walking between some of the best tropical beaches in Brazil, overnighting in remote fishing villages, before finishing up kayaking out through Brazil’s only tropical fjord, the Saco do Mamangua.
This unique combination of adventure, nature and culture is Brazil at its wild and beautiful best!

Paraty Beach Escape (3 days/ 2 nights) & Paraty Beach Adventure - (4 days/ 3 nights)
Paraty Beach Adventure
Explore some of the best beaches on the Green Coast from one of the most remote fishing villages on the Juatinga Peninsular Eco-reserve. On these trips, after one night in the colonial town of Paraty, we stay in a car-free fishing village, only accessible by trail or sea, for one or two nights. Although located mid-way between two of the largest cities in South America, the village often feels as though it has been forgotten in time. Surrounded by wild and unspoilt Atlantic Rainforest and without mains electricity the local Caiçara fishing people continue to live off the sea.
All in all the perfect escape from big city living!
