Hiking in Brazil
Paraty Explorer offers a hiking adventure around the car-free ecological paradise of the Juatinga peninsula, one of the most remote and beautiful coastlines in Rio de Janeiro. Along the way, experience the Caiçaras community and finish the trek at Brazil’s only tropical fjord for some outstanding views of the region. The adventure includes six nights of accommodations, seven days of guided activities, a ‘sherpa-boat’ service to transport backpacks between lodgings and meals.

Participants will have the opportunity to work with different materials such as essential oils, absolutes and concretes, and will gain hands on experience blending and creating fragrances that can be incorporated into a variety of products such as bath oils, body balms and oil based perfume.
