Parque Vale da Ferradura (Horseshoe Valley State Park), Canela

Welcome to your first adventure in the canyon region of Rio Grande do Sul. You will find yourself surrounded by an amazing Araucária forest growing out of a solid basaltic rock formation. Come enjoy a breathtaking one-day climb on the most famous local route "Pingos Horizontais '. It begins with an exciting 196 foot rappel to the base and from which you ascend a gleaming white basaltic rock wall in 3 pitches (Grade D1 5.10a/b/c E2). Other routes are also available. Trekking, hang gliding, paragliding, rafting are also available as package combos. Follow the links for more information about attractions in the sophisticated cities of Canela & Gramado. (Those of you who speak Spanish will feel particularly at home, given the large number of tourists from Spanish speaking Latin America.)
