Rastro de São Pedro, located in Arcos-MG, 80km from the tourist city of Capitólio, is one of the few limestone climbing areas in Brazil, as is Serra do Cipó. Unlike the latter, it has much more beginner and intermediate climbing grades, predominantly ranging from 4th to 8th grade (Brazilian grade). With holds, gullies, chimneys, democratic overhangs, and cracks, it offers a complete and quite intuitive climb. An excellent option for all levels of climbers.

Breakfast is included (option with accommodation) and breakfast is included.

CLOTHING
Dryfit T-shirt - 1 unit
To be used while walking. Recommended in POLYAMIDE and with long sleeves for extra protection against solar radiation and scratches from branches.
Fleece blouse 200 - 1 unit
Fleece is a type of fabric with high heating power, low weight and good compression. If you want to invest in a material that is even lighter and more compressible but much more expensive, choose a goose down jacket. But be careful! There are several types of down jackets, and many are NOT SUITABLE FOR OUTDOOR SPORTS. For more information, contact our team. If you DO NOT want to invest, you can replace it with a regular sweatshirt, but this is highly NOT recommended because it is heavier, bulkier and dries slowly if it gets wet.
Anorak - 1 unit
This is the most important item in your backpack. It can literally save your life, as it will protect you from hypothermia. It must have a hood, be water-resistant and preferably breathable, that is, allow your sweat to escape without letting rainwater in. IT IS NOT RECOMMENDED but can be replaced by a regular raincoat.
Track pants - 1 unit
-
Approach footwear - 1 unit
Ideally, they should be specifically designed for mountaineering, with a good sole (ideally Vibram® ), high-top, water-resistant and preferably with a breathable GoreTex® membrane. As the trails in the sport climbing sectors vary from extremely short to short (maximum 25 minutes), it is not a problem to go with regular sneakers, but IT IS NOT RECOMMENDED.
-
Thin liner socks - 1 unit
Choose technical socks specifically designed for mountaineering. They should be highly breathable, which helps to keep your feet in contact with moisture from sweat as little as possible, one of the three factors that cause blisters.
-
Bandana / expedition cap / hat - 1 unit
Choose a bandana as it is much more versatile and can withstand extreme environmental conditions.
-
Sunglasses - 1 unit
An essential item to make your trip more comfortable. Radiation at altitude is greater than at sea level, so protect yourself!

ACCESSORIES
-
Attack backpack 35 to 40L - 1 unit
It is not necessary to have a backpack with a capacity of more than 40L on a 1-day itinerary. If possible, opt for models that can be adapted for camelbacks.
-
Backpack rain cover - 1 unit
-
Headlamp - 1 unit
Having the most open ones, besides being more comfortable, is a safety issue if you have to go through a more technical section with little light. In some climbing outings we can do the trail back at night (unplanned). If you insist on not investing in this item, it can even be replaced by a cell phone flashlight, but IT IS NOT RECOMMENDED.
