BRAZIL'S EXCLUSIVE QUALITY TRAVEL SPECIALIST

Santa Catarina (Florianópolis)

A 4 days horse riding trip to experience the Gaucho culture in remote areas of the
highlands of Santa Catarina This trip takes in remote areas of Southern Brazil and
has a mix of beautiful scenery and local culture.

The ride will take you through araucaria forests, vast highland fields and pristine rivers.
We will ride the route of the old “tropeiros”, the men that moved cattle and mules from
the South to the North in colonial times. Along the way you will experience the southern 
Gauchos way of life, their warm hospitality, cuisine and old traditions, staying in farm-
hotels. Coxilhas, the typical rolling hills from this area, are the land of old, historical cattle
ranches. Many Fazendas here are inhabited since colonial times, when they were support
bases for the gauchos that moved live troops from Rio Grande do Sul to Sao Paulo.

Depending on itinerary, you will ride inside the remains of the stone corridors that run
for hundreds of kilometres and were used by the tropeiros to avoid dispersion of the
troops. In each place we will be welcomed with the warm hospitality of the region and
have the opportunity to try the typical local cuisine.

Minimum stay: 4 days.
