The Serra in Motion
Four unforgettable expeditions across a forgotten range — into the Story of Brazil. Part pilgrimage, part crossing, part living portrait of a place in time.
From forgotten trails to firelit meals, our 2025/26 Expeditions offer a rare chance to cross Brazil’s Serra do Espinhaço in motion — guided by those who’ve spent years crossing ridgelines, tracing histories, and carrying its wisdom forward. Each trip is an ambitious, all-inclusive journey shaped by landscape, movement, and the truths that live in both.
Four (minimum) to eight (maximum) travelers will join our Crews of 10–20 on undiscovered world-class treks and bold multi-week crossings. All accommodations, meals, equipment, and ground and river transportation are included — all you need to do is move forward, stay open, and be where you are.
If you’re drawn to the spirit of our Journeys but prefer to experience the Story of Brazil alongside a small group of curious, like-minded travelers, these are the trips we wholeheartedly recommend. Each one is limited by design — and may never run in quite the same way again.
