Not only does it pay but it also transforms you :) - My experience on the Juatinga Travessia was very special! The walks of the early days were challenging for me, but to the right extent: despite being difficult, the rewards are absurd. From landscapes, beaches and food to exchanges with the people you meet along the way, I would say that Travessia is an unforgettable experience, really! Having lived all this with Eugenia as a guide was essential for me to feel safe throughout the journey. She, as well as an amazing person, helps you to gain autonomy in choices during the trails and that was decisive for me to trust, even more, my own body. Making the Travessia not only compensates but also transforms you! I recommend demaissssssss to live it with an open heart :)

Great family trip - I went with my father (53 years old) and my brother (20 years old). It was a great walk, the waterfalls absolutely beautiful and the beaches look exclusive. All very beautiful. The walk is exhausting to the right extent, to remind the body to walk and give a delicious sweat to renew the energies.

Experiencing the wonders of Juatinga - The crossing with the guide Eugenia was fantastic, the script is very good, she makes everything seem easier, even the climbs become lighter. The look is amazing, we visited beautiful places in the Juatinga Ecological Reserve with a very cool group. Another difference is the feeding and overnight stays in the house of the community caiçara, which reinforces the care and commitment of Eugenia to the culture of the region. It was very worth it and I already want to do a next script with Eugenia!

Excellent guide - It was my first experience traveling alone, but I felt very well received by the guide Eugenia who is very friendly and attentive. His professionalism with the script and care with everyone’s safety made the ride very pleasant. The places visited are wonderful.

Travelling 4 days Juatinga - I made the 4 day crossing in Juatinga and it was all very good! I went alone and we were a group of 4 people. Great accommodation, very good meals and our guide Flávia, a resident of Ponta Negra, made a total difference! In addition to a great roadmap with beaches and beautiful waterfalls, it was also an experience to learn about the life and culture of the caçara near Flávia. Super recommend!

Unforgettable experience! - I didn't know what I was going to come across and it completely exceeded my expectations. We slept in super cute places and met beaches and dream waterfalls! I felt super confident to be guided by Eugenia, you can see that she knows the region and is also known and loved by the locals! I would repeat without a doubt!

The landscapes are amazing - It was an incredible experience. Eugenia's script is mto legal. The other guides who were with us who are boxers were great as well. Demand physical preparation especially if you go in the summer. But it's not of much technical difficulty.

Unforgettable days. I highly recommend. - I made the crossing from December 27th to January 26th. The experience was exactly what I imagined in relation to the difficulty, I know that trekking is not to make a single day trail. I was very happy that I was able to make the whole journey. Regarding the guides, Maria Eugénia, Flávia and flaviane they are super professional, as soon as I closed the contract I received a list with all the material that should take and care should have with the equipment. Had an obs on the boots, q should be in perfect condition for use. Eugenia removed all my doubts and even helped me to make a reservation in a hostel, since q I arrived a day earlier and returned a day later. Always very helpful and professional. Although I have experience in trekking, I know q am not very fast and q had several people faster q me. However, I received support from my guide to Flavia and had no problems with speed. What I can say is that. Get ready for a tough trekking, don't think q will be a walk or even q vc will rest. The agency delivers exactly the q is proposed. A trekking from moderate to difficult. The price is fair, the food is simple and tasty the nice company and stunning places.

Perfect mix of trekking and beaches, scenery and good company - A magnificent experience in global both at the level of trekking route, food, lodging and above all for the good relationship of the group. We were 5 people and the guide, Eugenia, from the first moment we all got together there was already very good tune and was the same dynamic throughout the rest of days. The trilha is well thought out and organized, passing through breathtaking landscapes from entering into the forest and entering it, paradise beaches, waterfalls and other natural beauties. The accommodations where we slept were great and the spectacular food of the best we have eaten in the whole trip through Brazil and what to say about Eugenia more than a guide was a companion more, close, friendly and very prepared. I recommend it 100%
