A narrow trail gives way to a stand of tall araucaria pines and the air changes — cooler, resin-scented, alive with bird calls. Participants clip into harnesses, test carabiners, and step onto a sequence of elevated platforms that thread through the canopy above Santo Amaro da Imperatriz. The climb is part acrobatics, part close-looking: roots and trunks become handholds, branches put a roof over your head, and the distant silhouette of Serra do Tabuleiro watches from the coast.
