A low rumble, a boot pressed into soft dirt, and suddenly the hills of Serra Gaúcha open up around you — eucalyptus wind riffing through the trees, the trail curving toward a bare knob labeled Morro Pelado. The 15 km quadricycle loop moves fast enough to thrill but slow enough to drink in long ridgeline vistas and forested glades. Guides brief riders, tighten helmets and hand over goggles; the machines answer the throttle with a playful shove that dares you to lean into the turns.

A low rumble, a boot pressed into soft dirt, and suddenly the hills of Serra Gaúcha open up around you — eucalyptus wind riffing through the trees, the trail curving toward a bare knob labeled Morro Pelado. The 15 km quadricycle loop moves fast enough to thrill but slow enough to drink in long ridgeline vistas and forested glades. Guides brief riders, tighten helmets and hand over goggles; the machines answer the throttle with a playful shove that dares you to lean into the turns.
This pocket of Rio Grande do Sul grew from volcanic uplifts and glacial-carved valleys; the hills you cross are layered in basalt rock and red clay, scarred by logging and reshaped by conservation efforts. European immigrants left a visible cultural mark in nearby towns like Canela and Gramado; locally run outfitters now operate within protected land at Apoema, balancing access and stewardship.
Practically: the commercial route covers roughly 15 km over mixed singletrack, logging roads and short steep pitches in about 90 minutes, with stops at Morro Pelado, Morro Dedão and Morro Burned for photos. Helmets, goggles and disposable rain ponchos are provided; riders receive on-site instruction and are accompanied at all times. Restrictions include a 180 kg max per vehicle, no children under 7, and no pregnant participants. Book by WhatsApp to confirm schedule (service runs Tue–Sun, 09:00–18:00). Bring closed-toe shoes, long pants, a small water bottle and a daypack; expect dust, sudden shade and quick elevation changes. Ride within the guide’s limits, respect trail closures and leave no trace — the hills are lively and will test your focus as much as your appetite for speed.
