2025/26 Small Group Expeditions
We’ll be guiding four incredible multi-week Small Group Expeditions in the Serra do Espinhaço in 2025.
Inspired by years of dedicated exploration in the region, these immersive, exhilarating trips have been carefully curated to share the Story of Brazil, while showcasing the very best of the Serra do Espinhaço.
Four (minimum) to 8 (maximum) travelers will join our Crews of 10 - 20 on undiscovered world-class treks & ambitious multi-week crossings, with all accommodations, meals, equipment, and ground & river transportation included.
If you’re attracted to the spirit of our Journeys but prefer to experience the Story of Brazil as part of a small group of adventurous travelers, these are the trips we whole-heartedly recommend.

An extraordinary, unabridged telling of the Story of Brazil, as only the Serra do Espinhaço can tell it. Come for the journey, and for the Seussian landscapes, mythical waterfalls, and vast wilderness areas, but don’t be surprised if it’s the heartwarming homestays, hard-fought celebrations, and trail-forged camaraderie that endure in your mind long afterward.

A deep dive into the Story of Brazil that doubles as an undiscovered world-class trek, ADT is our ode to the glorious, forgotten trails of the Espinhaço. With 400 km of historic trails & bucolic backroads, 23,849 m of gain/loss, 8 conservation units, 24 waterfalls, 19 communities, and few (if any) other folks on the trail, we’re convinced it’s among the most rewarding treks in South America... and beyond.

Take it from Sir Richard Francis Burton: crossing the Espinhaço has always been an adventure of epic proportions. Horses, pack mules, canoes, and Toyota Bandeirantes will all have a hand in helping us in this ambitious, action-packed crossing, inspired by our riveting travels in the region with Brazilian explorer Márcio Bortolusso.

The Serra Circuit

Soaring peaks, cola-colored waterfalls, and picturesque villages, all connected by a labyrinth of historic trails & little-traveled dirt roads. We wanted to introduce adventurous trekkers to the unheralded natural beauty, warm culture, and compelling history of Brazil. The majestic southeastern range of the Espinhaço gave us everything we needed.
