Impermeable! - The walk was fantastic. The guide Ricardo managed to combine the 2 canions on the same day by knowing the peculiarities of each. We even used bikes. I explained what each trail had to offer and from there I had the freedom to choose which one to guide. Super recommend! Those who are in Gramado for a walk should not fail to make this guided tour, We managed to go to the main viewpoints and see the sea from above (from Fortaleza) and several waterfalls (in Itaimbezinho).

A wonderful experience - It has been a fascinating tour, beautiful and full DE beautiful landscapes. To begin with, Ricardo has been a phenomenal guide. It has very good treatment, speaks fluent Spanish and has relevant information DE the canyons, the nature reserve and even DE Porto Alegre, Gramado, Canela, among other very good anecdotes. He always went at a good pace, he made sure DE take good pictures of me and that my experience is amazing. He was also very friendly and helpful with my luggage and transfer. It was like traveling with an old friend. The tour ES very cute, the landscapes you see are beautiful. The hike ES long, but entertaining, as you can appreciate different landscapes and animals. ES a really big park, and I feel like I got to know POR least the most important places. Also, I highlight that there are parts EN the tour where simply the tranquility ES so deep that being there simply relaxes a lot. Highly recommended tour if you want to know both canyons and other attractions offered by the reservation, with a very good guide that undoubtedly makes the experience much better. PS: if you are lucky, you can win with a nice capybara.

Best travel guide! - Excellent guide! We felt very safe during all the tours. It was two days of tours, the first with a gastronomic script in Bento Gonçalves and the second day a contemplative script in the canions in Cambará do Sul! Ricardo gave great restaurant tips, script setting. It is quite well known in the region and very well related. We could know the stories behind each of the places visited. In addition to being super professional, he is a great person and super helpful!

The echanted land of canyons - The three of us spent an unforgettable day with Ricardo visiting 2 canyons ( from various angles) and splendid waterfalls. Words can hardly describe the energy you can feel while walking along these trails. The ever- changing lights, the pure are, the game of sun and clouds add to the dream- like beauty of the parks. Ricardo is a lovely person, a friendly and engaging tour leader. Having worked in tourism for decades, I appreciate a highly professional colleague when I meet one. The day trip has been the highlight of our stay in Rio Grande do Sol. His tours are highly recommended!
