Description

Located within the beautiful Serra dos Orgaos National Park in Brazil, the Petropolis to Teresopolis crossing is a must for anybody who loves an unforgettable trek.

Lasting 3 incredible days, our journey from Petropolis to Teresopolis will take you through amazing forest and mountain towns. It is full of sensational views that really have to be seen to be believed. Hence why the trek is often considered to be the most beautiful long distance hike in all of Brazil.

Stretching for approximately 32 kilometers, the journey contains several steep climbs and descents. As a result, the hike is considered difficult. Thus the need for participants to have some prior long distance hiking experience. You should also be in good physical condition as well.

The trip will begin at the Petropolis park entrance. From there, we will go to the Acu Castles. On the next day, we will leave the Acu Castles and go to the Pedra do Sino. Finally, on the third and last day of the trek, we will leave the Pedra do Sino and go to the Teresopolis park entrance. However, your adventure will begin in Rio de Janeiro, as we will pick you up and drop you off wherever you are staying within the sprawling, incredible city. Another great highlight of the trip is the Dedo de Deus, which you will get to see during your journey.

If you are looking for arguably the best hike in all of Brazil, this is the trip for you. To join me, please send a request. I look forward to guiding you from Petropolis to Teresopolis.

Nattrip

Tour Operator

The year 2010 marked the beginning of a journey of creation of Nattrip, our company. Accessibility to ecotourism and adventure tourism was restricted, especially in Rio de Janeiro. There were still severe restrictions of public use to the existing Conservation Units, which went some way against what the world was experiencing. While other countries created policies to increase protected area visitation in an attempt to increase preservation, using the “understand to protect” approach, Brazil believed that prohibiting access was the best way to protect.

Thanks to the work of some conservation, tourism and sports entities, as well as some spheres of public power, this premise has gradually changed, giving space to a greater offer of experiences in the natural environment.
We understand that people, whether tourists or residents, needed tours and specialized services to practice the activities that these places provide. This is to promote a healthy life and generate environmental knowledge by insertion into the environment, creating a basis for environmental sustainability, responsibility, mutual conviviality, and protection.

That’s when we decided to create a company specialized in the eco-adventure segment, which could promote the sector with responsibility. A way of entertainment that creates environmental education by osmosis. However, the mission of Nattrip was beyond just being a company that provides nature and adventure tours.

We design the company’s performance in all aspects of tourism in Brazil, aiming to be a company of national reference, which can translate into quality assurance. Today Nattrip is one of the main agencies and operators of receptive tourism in Rio de Janeiro, a respected adventure operator in Brazil and has been showing all its power in the corporate, educational and travel segments.

“Protect by enjoying and understanding, never forbidding!”

Thank you explore-share for a wonderful via feratta experience. We have been wanting to learn for a long time but don't have the facilities in Scotland. The guide Mitja was extremely helpful and knowledgeable, answering all my many questions and providing advice. On the day head to take another group but he quickly arranged another guide Borut, who was brilliant. We had a fantastic morning learning via ferrata at Hvadnik in the gorge. It gave us the confidence to later hire our own equipment and go out in Mojstrana. Altogether a five star + experience. Thank you.
