A top tour by a top agency - highly recommended for experienced hikers

I did the famous Petrópolis–Teresópolis Traverse with Nattrip this week, and it was absolutely sensational — one of the best treks I have ever done - hands down. Normally, the trek takes three days, but since I wanted to shorten it, my excellent guide Alex Muriqui organized it for me in two days. It was very demanding and, at times, technically challenging, but truly spectacular and perfectly organized. Both Alex Muriqui as my guide on the ground and Nattrip as the agency were outstanding. Nattrip was always available for any questions and prepared me perfectly for the trek. I have known Brazil for many years, but I would recommend this traverse to anyone who loves nature. It is truly a must-do experience. I can recommend Nattrip without reservation — an excellent agency. And once again, a thousand thanks to Alex Muriqui, a truly top guide!

One of the most incredible experiences of my life 🙏🇧🇷

Waaaaa!!!! Petrópolis to Teresópolis was hands down one of the coolest things I’ve done in my life. The trail is extremely challenging, and I would only recommend it to people who are in excellent physical shape and have solid trekking experience. One section of the route—Cavalinho—requires actual climbing techniques, so be prepared and know what you’re getting into. Our guide, Alex Muriqui, was truly exceptional. He took great care of us, set the perfect pace, prepared amazing food, and made the entire experience feel safe and enjoyable. We also left with a new friend in Brazil 🙂 Also, the administrative staff was excellent too. I mainly spoke with Joana and she answered all my questions effectively and promptly. I could not have asked for anything more! Thank you, Alex, Joanna, and thank you Nattrip—this was a truly unforgettable experience 🙌🇧🇷💚

Wonderful guides, unforgettable landscapes

Guides Alex and Gustavo took very good care of our group of 4 people, making us feel very safe. They also taught us about the geology, fauna, and flora of the area. Alex also served delicious meals and took beautiful photos of our family, helping make this trip unforgettable.

superb trekking experience in the Serra dos Orgãos

we made the crossing of Serra dos Orgãos with an agency guide. everything is very well organized from A to Z, excellent communication with the team. 3 days of hiking (petropolis-Térésopolis). The guide was great, accompanied us very well. It is also he who prepares very good breakfasts and dinners in the shelters. this huge work justifies for me the price (1980 reais per person), which may seem high at first, especially since we sleep in bivouac. but it is justified all the more that the first day we had a second "guide-bearer" who took care of setting up the tents at the first shelter.

Spectacular Landscapes

The Petro x Teresópolis crossing is a crossing that can be done in 1, 2 or even 3 days. When I take the group we do it in 3 days, we catch the sunrise at the Portals of Hercules and also at the Sino. It's a magical place, For more photos and videos, our group's Instagram @roteiro.de.aventuras

Travessia Petrópolis-Teresópolis in February

Great agency for nature-lovers. They offer a wide variety of packages. A bit on the pricier side, however they delivered 100%. Great communication. Flawless organisation. Plus, they provided for equipment that I didn't have myself. I did the "Travessia Petrópolis-Teresópolis" out of season and they still organised a private guide for me who is a native of Petrópolis and therefore knew the area inside and out. It was fantastic. And the weather-gods did the rest, as it hardly rained. As to the trek itself, it was a rather challenging one but I wouldn't miss out on this great experience, breathtaking views. I greatly recommend the agency and the trek. Thank You.

Persons in good physical condition only

The first day is difficult more than 1000 meters of ascent over 8 km. The second is very difficult from a technical point of view. There's climbing. The 3rd day is all downhill and allows to recover. Our two guides Gigi and Guilherme were extraordinary. The weight they carry is phenomenal. They are excellent motivators and excellent cooks. Sleeping on a mattress at the shelter becomes priceless happiness.

Amazing experience!

The experience was very good, from the meeting with the guides until the last day of the crossing, not to mention that the climate was sensational. Me and a group decided to choose the option of the crossing with accommodation in the shelter plus the food, I will not deny, the food was sensational. Besides the guides being excellent, they ran super well in the kitchen. Juliana, Fabi and Thalles were amazing people, from the care of the crossing to the interest in the group. Super recommend the agency, very organized and super attentive. For those who like adventure and walk a lot, super recommend. Nattrip team thank you for the care and attention.
