Description
Climb the Serra da Bocaina in a pirate-themed 4x4 jeep along the Gold Trail, and hike with a certified bilingual guide along Atlantic Forest trails to 4 waterfalls.
Explore the Serra da Bocaina aboard one of Piratas Tours' themed 4x4 jeeps, painted black and customized with the company's pirate identity. The driver is also your guide: a tour guide accredited by Cadastur, who conducts the tour in Portuguese, English, or Spanish.
The jeep climbs the mountain range along the Gold Trail road, the old colonial route by which gold from Minas Gerais was transported down to the harbor of Paraty. Along the way, the guide tells this story, passes by the Gold Trail landmark, and points out the fauna and flora of the Atlantic Rainforest.

- Traditional distillery, with tastings of cachaça, liqueurs, sweets and peppers

The hikes to the waterfalls are short and easy, and the guide accompanies the group on all of them. The tour takes place rain or shine.
