The first turn off the paved road tosses you into a different tempo: dirt loosens under tires, eucalyptus scent cuts through cool mountain air, and the guide's soft command sets the pace. Riders shoulder the throttle together on two-up quadricycles and move into Apoema's hills, where ridgelines give way to wooded bowls and sudden viewpoints.

The first turn off the paved road tosses you into a different tempo: dirt loosens under tires, eucalyptus scent cuts through cool mountain air, and the guide's soft command sets the pace. Riders shoulder the throttle together on two-up quadricycles and move into Apoema's hills, where ridgelines give way to wooded bowls and sudden viewpoints.
This 15km loop skirts three named summits—Morro Pelado, Morro Dedão and Morro Burned—each offering a different angle on Serra Gaúcha's volcanic-origin landscape. The terrain is a mix of compact singletrack, farm access roads and short forest spurs carved through araucaria and native understory; geology here shows the eroded basalts and tuff that built the region's rolling highlands. Local rural culture still marks the route: small stone walls, grazing pastures and occasional colonial homesteads remind riders they're moving through working countryside as much as scenic reserve.
Practically, the tour runs about 90 minutes with all gear provided (helmet, protective glasses; disposable raincoat if needed). Guides give a safety briefing and basic vehicle handling before departure; pilot swaps are not permitted and max load is 180kg. Expect short photo stops at viewpoints and tighter sections through trees that reward steady, controlled riding.
To prepare: wear closed shoes and layers, bring water and sunscreen, and schedule your slot by WhatsApp. The operator enforces age and health limits (no children under 7, no pregnant riders, and not recommended for those with spinal or serious heart conditions). Time your ride for morning or late afternoon for softer light and cooler trail conditions.
