includerafting down the Rio Cubuto in class III and IV
rapids through lush sub-tropical rainforest. The air
is rich with the sweet smells of the blossoms that
ornament the verdant background. Sail through the
coastal islands to the Baia dos Golfinos (Bay of
Dolphins) and have lunch on a distant beach. Travel up
the chiseled mountains of the Serra Gaucho to the
Pousada Morro Grande, a 5th generation working ranch.
Ride on horseback through fields of native
wildflowers, majestic Brazilian Pine forests and
breathtaking canyons. Ride out to the Uncle's ranch
for an overnight stay and rappel into Canyon Bicudo
next to the 35 meter waterfall, Salto de Bicudo. Feast
on the famous Brazilian barbecue, dance the
traditional Gaucho dances to live accordion music and
be swept away in the warm atmosphere of the traditional
Gaucho lifestyle.
