About this activity

We will cross the National Park and discover the charms of the region that was considered by Burle Marx as the “Garden of Brazil”. The Serra do Cipó Expedition will take you on a 4-day journey, exploring stunning landscapes and rich biodiversity.

The Serra do Cipó Expedition is a 4-day adventure that crosses the Serra do Cipó National Park, revealing the charms of this unique region described by Burle Marx as the “Garden of Brazil”.
