Between Canyons and Waterfalls

An itinerary crafted with the soul of those born here, among the cliff walls, rivers, and waterfalls of the South.

The Expedition lasts 6 days and 5 nights

The Expedition lasts 6 days and 5 nights

Meeting point: Porto Alegre (RS)

Recommended airport: Aeroporto Internacional Salgado Filho (POA)

Difficulty level: Moderate

This itinerary is our home. It comes from childhood memories, the paths we have walked, and the stories we have lived among the cliff walls and waters of the South.

Over 6 days, you will experience Cascata das Andorinhas, Cascata do Chuvisqueiro, Pedra Branca with its infinity pool, the giants Fortaleza and Itaimbezinho, the legendary 14 km Trilha do Rio do Boi through the bottom of the canyon, and the Piscinas Naturais do Malacara.

More than guides, we are hosts. Every trail, every dip, and every pinhão pastel in a 1940s house carries the warmth of people who want to show you what they love.

More than guides, we are hosts. And our home is open to you.

The best experience in Alter do Chão!

Without a doubt, it was the best experience I have ever had! The expedition was simply incredible from beginning to end. Impeccable organisation and an extremely attentive team who know the region deeply and respect the local nature. Every detail was thought through with great care: breathtaking landscapes, wonderful freshwater beaches, trails, cultural immersion and that feeling of living something unique. Beyond all the beauty, I felt safe the whole time and very well welcomed. You can tell when work is done with love and responsibility. I recommend it without hesitation to anyone who wants to experience the real Alter do Chão, far beyond basic tourism. An unforgettable experience!

The most incredible carnival experience in the world

It was my first solo trip and I could write a whole book about how wonderful this experience was. Ana Carms has an approach to travel that is very different from the conventional one, a proposal of real immersion in the local culture and way of life, always respectfully. In 2026, being without internet for 5 days may sound bizarre and frightening, but in the end you come back grateful and wanting to stay longer. There is a clear reason for that disconnection, and the result for me were the great friends I made on this trip, which certainly would not have happened if we had our phones. The care the women of the agency put into every detail is admirable, and you feel all that affection in the details of everything you live there. Trust them and just go! A special thank you to Seu Sabá's family, who make everything even more magical with their care, from the delicious food to Bob the dog, who welcomes you with licks when you arrive on the little boat. Thank you for everything, ANA CARMS team, I already want to collect every expedition you offer.
