worth too much - Amazing experience. The guides Flávia and Flaviane are spectacular and because they are from the region, they present layers of the experience that are very particular. Intermediate level. Requires some level of conditioning.

Incredible experience - I had already made this crossing earlier with Eugenia and now did again, this time with the guides Flavia and Flaviani. It was amazing both times. Super professional and welcoming staff. All I have to do is thank Flavia and Flaviani for the experience. You are 10 girls!!!

The best three days of our entire trip in Brazil ! - We went on a three day trek through Paraty with Flor (who spoke perfect English). The trip was well organised, high quality and we genuinely had the best three days. The food was incredible - Flor was so knowledgeable, kind and patient. We stayed in comfy beds and couldn’t have asked for anything more. I feel like we saw such an authentic and special part of the country.

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.
