Brazilian Canyons

This trip would suit well with hikers and those who are looking to have an active holiday. The Aparados da Serra canyons, scattered across two states in the south of Brazil, Rio Grande do Sul and Santa Catarina, hold one of the most fascinating landscape in the country. Here, the wide mountains form edges and abysses up 1.200 meters high, looking like if sharpened by a knife. At the bottom there are waterfalls and pools for swimming. You will stay at the charming Pedra Afiada Ecological Reserve – an intimate getaway for those who crave a close connection with nature. Breakfast and dinner are included in the daily rate as there will be plenty of snacks for the hiking part. A super great-value, scenic trip into the South of Brazil.
