Nice little hike!

Claudia_C, Dec 2024
Rodrigo our guide was very knowledgeable and amiable. He also set a good pace for getting us up a steep short hike. It took us an hour to get up. It star ted raining towards the end so we only got a quick view before it became foggy. Later we stopped at a barraca where we had great grilled fish.

Response from Host, Dec 2024

Great to hear you enjoyed the hike in Mamangua. Rodrigo is one of our most experienced (and popular!) guides. Full of info on the Atlantic Forest, flora and fauna and local culture. Thank you for choosing Paraty Explorer for your Mamangua Sugarloaf peak hike!
