How we run a crossing
Every detail of the crossing is planned around comfort, safety and a trip you will keep talking about.
Looking after the trekker
Small groups, a respectful pace and individual attention. Our guides shape the crossing around the group they have.
Mountain cooking
Meals made with local ingredients and real care. The food out here surprises most people.
Safety protocols
First aid kit, radio communication and guides trained for emergencies. Safety comes first.
Frequently asked questions
The questions we get asked most.
You do not need to be an athlete, but moderate fitness helps. The trails mean 4 to 8 hours of walking a day on uneven ground, with climbs and descents. Start preparing with walks and some aerobic work at least 30 days before the trip. Our guides set the pace by the group.
We send the full kit list once your booking is confirmed. Broadly: a pack of around 40 litres with a hip belt, light quick-drying clothing plus one warm layer, a rain shell, sun cream, insect repellent, a torch and your personal items. A foldable 10 to 20 litre daypack is optional, for days out from the house you are sleeping in. You do not need a sleeping bag or a towel: the houses provide a bed, a blanket and a bath towel. Mule support for the heavier bag is optional, charged separately and booked with the trek. The kitchen caters for any dietary restriction you tell us about when booking.
O Vale do Pati pode ser visitado o ano inteiro, mas cada época oferece uma experiência diferente. De outubro a março (verão) as cachoeiras estão cheias e a vegetação exuberante, porém chove mais. De abril a setembro (inverno) o clima e mais seco e as temperaturas mais amenas, ideais para trekking. A alta temporada vai de junho a setembro e de dezembro a fevereiro.
