    A very top trail. Which lasts the entire day, we start at 9am and finish at 5pm, the first part is a 3.5km closed trail and the other 3.5km passing by the river. You need an accredited guide to take along to do it, and You are also required to pay a fee of 50 reais for icmbio and if you do not pay both the guide and the fee and have a vaccination card, you will not go on the trail. I will share the story of our guide who was very attentive and told the history of the place.

    Everyone already knows that the trail has a spectacular view. I did it with the guide Tere (@ducanyon) and she was incredible, it's mandatory to do it with a guide, so look for someone who knows how to respect your time. The trail is long, 14km in total, about 4km (more or less) in dense forest and 3km along the river. The worst part is the walking on the rocks around the river. There are 20 river crossings in total, and I found it easier than I was expecting. We went in October and the river level was low, which made it easier. After you get your foot wet the first time, you get used to it being wet and it doesn't bother you as much. Some shin guards hurt, there are people who recommend wearing long socks to help, as shin guards are mandatory to avoid injuries from rocks and animal bites (we didn't encounter any snakes along the way, amen!!! But it is possible to find them). At the time we did it (Oct/2020) the maximum group allowed was 5 people per guide, due to the pandemic, and a maximum of 55 people per day to enter the park, so book in advance! It is possible to get to Praia Grande via the mountains from Cambará do Sul, however it is 36km of dirt road and there is the possibility of A LOT of fog (check the weather forecast), making the path dangerous at certain times and with low visibility. And it is also possible to arrive via the Sun Route, which is much quieter, but much longer. In short: plan ahead and enjoy the trail, it is SO worth it.

    Incredible place with lush landscapes. It was a rainy season and this hindered visibility a little but it still showed how beautiful the place is, I will certainly go back. I understand the fact that you need local guides to go to Rio do Boi, but they could provide easier entry for those who already have experience with trails, the fact of depending on the local guide unfortunately inhibited us from following the trail simply out of ego, in We were late for the start of the trail and they wanted to leave and not be late for the return trip, this doesn't make sense considering the cost of hiring the guide and also the technical effort, which is very low.

    Excellent experience. Technical as you spend the best part of 8 hours walking on rocks. Guide needed upon entering park. Highly recommended Casiano from Pousado Nativos.

    This felt like a quite different, challenging and one of the most rewarding hiking experience for me. Normally when I hike, I end up in a lake, or a waterfall, or a hill with a good sight (which certainly is cool on its own). This hike is different. It goes through the river, surrounded by the great canyons walls, it has not one but a few pools and waterfalls through the way - very beautiful - and you need to actually cross the river around 20 times through the track. We went in the winter so unfortunately it was a bit cold for us to enter the pools and waterfalls (even without entering them it was a 6-7 hours hike), so to take best advantage of the hike, go in the summer. The above said, this was also a fairly challenging hike. The path is not a easy one as you will be mostly moving through rocks alongside the river. You need to be in reasonable shape to do it as it will be a quite long hike, and be careful with your steps on the rocks. Lastly, in this hike it is mandatory that you to go with a registered guide so make sure you hire one before you go on it.

    (Translated by Google) Excellent experience. You need to have a reasonable physical preparation, because the trail requires a certain effort. In addition to the distance, 7 km to go and 7 to return, there are a lot of ups and downs, demanding a lot from the knees and other joints. (Original) Excelente experiência. Precisa ter um preparo físico razoável, porque a trilha de exige um certo esforço. Além da distância, 7km para ir e 7 para voltar, tem bastante subidas e descidas, exigindo bastante dos joelhos e outras articulações.

    Wonderful trail, splendid and wonderful place, easy level as it is quiet, but it is very tiring, I recommend using leggings and a stick, there are many crossings on the Rio do Boi. When you reach the end of the trail, you have a lush and imposing view of the canyons, a breathtaking view!

    Absolutely amazing! The beginning of the trail is a bit tricky, but the trekking along the river and all the times you have to cross it from one side to another, are really good as a trekking experience. And the final view, the portal, breath taking.

    🐮Incredible record I had on the Rio do Boi trail with the guide @edsonpereirapk I highly recommend him, he was punctual, polite, very helpful, led the trail at the group's pace and took several photos of everyone. He gave a lot of information about the place, history, origin of the names. 📌The Rio do Boi trail is in the crevice of the Itaimbezinho Canyon, in the Aparados da Serra National Park. It is about 7 km long (14 km round trip). It is carried out, half of it in the middle of the forest and the other half along the riverbed of the Rio do Boi, among many rocks. It is necessary to make more than 20 crossings during the route. ➡️It is not possible to do this Rio do Boi trail on your own, only with an accredited guide.
