Into the Story We Go
Four bold expeditions across a forgotten range.
Four motion-filled celebrations of life.
Prepare to be exhilarated. To be exhausted. And to be humbled in the best possible way.
We’ll be guiding just a handful of small group expeditions in Brazil’s unheralded Serra do Espinhaço in 2025/26.
From ambitious multi-week crossings to month-long epics, these trips are an opportunity to dive deeply into a place that few travelers have known — led by those who’ve spent years crossing its ridgelines, documenting its stories, and guarding its secrets.
All accommodations, meals, equipment, and ground and river transportation are included — all we ask is that you show up, stay open, and keep going.
If you’re drawn to the spirit of our Journeys but prefer to travel alongside a small group of other adventurous, like-minded individuals, these are the trips we recommend. We may tackle similar crossings in the years to come — but we’ll never have the same trip twice.
