Exploration Air and Exotic Excursions have teamed up to bring you a unique backpacking adventure! Join other explorers from around the world as we trek through the mountains of Brazil. We will spend two weeks travelling through the mountainous state of Minas Gerais, past cascading waterfalls, over high passes and explore the following areas: the gorges in the south, in Rio Grande do Sul; the trails and waterfalls of Serra do Mar, in the states of Sπo Paulo and Rio de Janeiro; and the mountain ridge of Serra da Graciosa, in Paranß.
<P>
We extend our camping comfort by using pack stock to carry extra equipment and supplies, but the terrain is rugged. For safety, each backpacker will receive a hand held Global Positioning System (GPS) receiver. The Global Positioning System (or GPS) is a collection of satellites owned by the U.S. Government that provides highly accurate, worldwide positioning and navigation information, 24 hours a day. It can provide position information at any time, so if it becomes dark or bad weather sets in, and you can't see recognizable landmarks, GPS and a good map will help you navigate back to a safe place.
<P>
Please be in excellent health and physical condition. The hiking is strenuous, over steep, isolated trails, at altitudes ranging from 5,000 to 13,000 feet.

<STRONG>Pricing: </STRONG>$1950 per person, including round-trip air fare and accommodations. This expedition is designed for adults only, no children. Pricing subject to change.
