This 2-day walk is a very special experience. You can see some beautiful beaches and experience some very untouched areas. The fishing village where you stay is very cool and a unique experience. Finally, the walk takes you to the Saco Bravo waterfall, which is wonderful

I found it simply sensational! Michael as our guide made the trip even more special. The trail is beautiful, walking through the Atlantic forest is an experience of pure delight. Also, the surprise we have when we get to the Saco Bravo waterfall has no words. It is a track q requires a little physical conditioning due to the rises and descents, but the requirement of technique is gentle. I won't give spoilers about the sanctuary! Whoever wants to know will have to have the pleasure of getting there! I just thank you!
A fantastic experience. I want to repeat for sure.

Our guide, Michael, not only guided us through the forest but he also answered all of our questions about Brazilian culture, geography, and history. He knew the best places to stop along the way for a waterfall swim and to body surf. He was professional, competent and joyful. I highly recommend this trek to anyone who wants a memorable Brazilian adventure.

The trip was a big great adventure. The nature was beautiful. Because we went in the summer it was really hot so it’s important to take beluga water. The guide was really friendly and helpful! For my dad (sportive, 59) it was the perfect tour, but for my mum (59) it was a little bit too difficult. She didn’t join the second hike on the second day. But it was still a great experience and I would book it again!
Amazing! Wonderful energy in the Peak of the Sugar Bread and Bag of Mamanguá.

The trail was well pulled but very interesting and the view on the Peak of the Sugar Bread was the best possible. The guide Michael, who accompanied us was great too.
