JUATINGA
TIP OF
Brazil's main coastal crossing.
-
Average physical condition
Considered one of the most beautiful coastal crossings in Brazil, passing through practically deserted beaches such as Martim de Sá, Cairuçu das Pedras, Antigos and Antiguinhos, this route located between Paraty and Ubatuba is a classic of national trekking. The great postcard of Juatinga is not to be missed, the Saco Bravo waterfall.
Physics: easy/medium
Technique (climbing): none

CLOTHING
-
Dryfit T-shirt - 3 units
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 - 2 or 3 units
-
Waterproof anorak pants (optional depending on the rain forecast) - 1 unit
-
Trekking boots - 1 unit
Ideally, it should be specifically designed for mountaineering, with a good sole (ideally Vibram® ), high shaft, water resistant and preferably with a breathable GoreTex® membrane. Some people go hiking with regular sneakers, but THIS IS NOT RECOMMENDED.
Thin liner stockings - 1 unit
Opt for technical socks specifically designed for mountaineering. They should be highly breathable, which helps to minimize contact between your foot and sweat, one of the three factors that cause blisters.
Bandana / expedition-style cap / hat - 1 unit
Opt for a bandana as it's 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 higher than at sea level, so protect yourself!
ACCESSORIES
50-60L cargo backpack - 1 unit
It is mandatory to have a waist belt and it is highly recommended to have an adapter for hydration bladders.
Backpack rain cover - 1 unit
Headlamp - 1 unit
Having more free-flowing lights is not only more comfortable but also a matter of safety, especially if you have to navigate a more technical section with low light. On some routes, we make a short ascent to the summit in the late afternoon to admire the sunset, and the descent ends up being at night. If you insist on not investing in this item, it can even be replaced by a cell phone flashlight, but IT IS NOT RECOMMENDED.
Set of spare batteries - 1 unit
Opt for lithium batteries, as they are more resistant to low temperatures.
Trekking poles (optional) - 1 pair
It says "optional" because many people take time to get used to using them. The benefit is tremendous: it reduces the impact on the knees by up to 30%. If you use them, avoid those with screw-type or automatic locking mechanisms. They are less durable.
3L Water Reservoir with Hose - 1 unit
This is an important item because dehydration at altitude increases the chance of altitude sickness (severe headaches and nausea, for example). This type of system avoids the constant taking off and putting on of the backpack, but can even be replaced by plastic bottles.
Waterproof dry bag 1L (optional) - 1 unit
To protect/organize small items and electronics.
8L waterproof dry bag (optional) - 1 unit
To protect/organize clothes.
CAMPING
Accommodation on days 1 and 2 can be in a tent or shelter, sleeping in a bed at the home of local residents.
Tent - 1 unit
For one or two people weighing less than 2.5kg. Required only if you choose the "camping" option for DAY 1 and 2 of your stay. Available for rent.
Sleeping bag 0ºC (comfort) - 1 unit
The "limit" temperatures indicated by all manufacturers are very relative from person to person. Ideally, you should always consider only the "comfort temperature". If this is similar to the outside temperature of the environment, you will be able to sleep comfortably wearing only the base layer. We have them available for rent.
Thermal insulating mattress - 1 unit
Preferably choose inflatable or closed-cell models. Only necessary if you choose the "camping" option for DAYS 1 and 2. We have them available for rent.
Pillow (optional) - 1 unit
Use camping-specific bags, which are smaller and lighter than household bags. To avoid this extra weight, you can substitute a shirt instead.
PERSONAL HYGIENE
Sunscreen with SPF 50 or higher
Medications for personal use
