The whole Exo experience was great
The whole Exo experience was great and everyone on the team was very responsive, helpful, and kind throughout the planning, booking, and during the trip. Thanks so much to my guide for this wonderful trilha, his attentiveness, support, great sense of humor, and patience. It was really great and I enjoyed those days to the fullest!
My guide made this trip very special
The days hiking Vale do Pati with my guide were incredible. He was my guide, cook, photographer, botanist, and storyteller. He made sure to adapt the trip according to my physical abilities, showed me his favorite parts of the Valley, and overall made this trip very special.
I would definitely recommend this tour!
The Vale do Pati hike was amazing! It’s such a special landscape and the views are magical! Our guide was great, we laughed a lot together, he knows everything about the area, makes delightful lunches and guides you with pleasure, peace, and attunement! The house where we slept was good, with really very good food and a nice place to stay the nights, I would definitely recommend this tour! Thanks a lot to our guide :)) and Planeto Exo!
A super good guide and on top an absolute gem of a person
Thanks for putting together a great individual tour for us with a fantastic guide. He is a super good guide and on top an absolute gem of a person! We had a fantastic time with his guidance. He really loves nature and his job and it shows!
It was a highlight of our Brazilian travels
What an amazing experience in the Chapada Diamantina! Our 4-day trek was a highlight of our Brazilian travels: the landscapes, the remoteness, the food, the cool paths, the nature. Lucas designed an itinerary based on our requirements and our guide did an amazing job showing us around and telling us about nature/flowers/animals. Everything was smooth and well organized. We wish we could have stayed longer!
The experience was 10/10 from beginning to end
Me and my girlfriend did the 4-day hike through Vale do Pati with PlanetaEXO and the most amazing guide. An absolutely amazing experience and easily one of our favorite hikes in the world, and one that we would recommend to everyone coming to Brazil. Don’t go to Chapada Diamantina without trekking through Vale do Pati with our guide. He is super friendly and knowledgeable about the park – and extremely patient while we took a million photos at the amazing viewpoints and waterfalls. He even adjusted the tour to our physical condition and needs. Sometimes we would stay hours at the same viewpoint exploring and climbing around, while many other groups would leave after just 15 minutes. He timed everything so we would be all alone at most viewpoints, which was amazing. And did we mention the incredible picnic lunch he made every day? The homestays were simple and lovely, with amazing home-cooked buffet food every evening and morning. We miss passion fruit juice already. As for PlanetaEXO, the experience was 10/10 from beginning to end through swift communication on WhatsApp. We were provided with all the relevant information exactly when we needed it, and questions were answered within minutes. Thank you!
PlanetaEXO's pre-trip organization and assistance were excellent
The three days in Vale do Pati was amazing. Fantastic guide, cozy accommodations with fellow travelers, and a lot of amazing hikes, viewpoints, waterfalls, caves, etc. The organization and help from PlanetaEXO before the trip were really great, so we felt completely ready for the trip when we started it.
A special and memorable experience
I had such a wonderful time- thank you to our guide and the team for a special and memorable experience. Excellent communication and attention to detail made every stage of the trek so good. The natural beauty of the national park was a tonic for the senses.
I highly recommend Planeta EXO
The trip was very well organized by Planeta EXO, Lucas was attentive to details, and always concerned about making sure everything was going well (and it did!). Everything included in the package was great and all the tips we received from Lucas for the rest of our trip were excellent. We also couldn’t have asked for a better guide. He gave us all the confidence we needed, was very cautious, has a very special relationship with the area, knows everything, has a great attitude, is a good person, and is professional. The guide certainly made us connect even more especially with the Vale do Pati. In addition, we were very well received at the support house, the food was amazing, with delicious dinners and breakfasts. Speaking of food, I cannot fail to mention the unforgettable and appetizing lunches prepared with care by our guide on the trails. I come back home with the certainty that I will go to Chapada Diamantina many more times, and certainly also to Pati. Nature is stunning, invigorating, and inexplicable. I highly recommend Planeta EXO. Thank you very much to everyone who provided us with such special days!
PlanetaEXO Staff was great
PlanetaEXO Staff was great. Decent food on the trip. Good guide. I think “rain poncho” should be added to the itinerary list of items. Got a few pictures, unfortunately, it rained both days at the top of the mountain so we didn’t get those amazing shots from one tepui to another. Mountain weather changes rapidly and is very hard to predict. This is nobody’s fault. Nobody can control the weather.
Much more was delivered than promised
The company was excellent from the first contact with the team until the end of the tour with the guides. The guides not only showed full mastery of knowledge of the region and trekking but also proved to be excellent people who welcomed us and taught us in the best possible way, mixing the theoretical knowledge of the Pati Valley with the wisdom of only those who live in the area could transmit. Much more was delivered than promised. I will definitely recommend Planeta EXO and the guides to my family and friends!
The guides are a massive asset to Planeta EXO
We had an unforgettable 5-day trek across the amazing scenery of the Vale do Pati. Our guides had an almost unbelievable depth of knowledge about the entire park and obviously cared very deeply about the preservation and protection of the landscape. They both were incredible navigators and guides. The houses and food provided authentic and delicious stays, which really helped us appreciate the culture of living in the valley. The guides’ efforts in speaking to us in English meant so much, and actually, by day 3 we were able to have full conversations. I think they will only get better at English the more he is exposed to trekkers from outside of Brazil, but they are already a massive asset to PlanetExo!
Happy partners make your adventure unforgettable.

Comfortable Accommodations

The service was excellent
We are just happy about our indescribably beautiful stay at this Amazon Lodge. The hospitality is nothing short of warm. The “service” was excellent, and everything you need or want to know is lovingly addressed. It’s just extremely relaxing. If you want to discover a part of the Amazon and are looking for adventure, naturalness, family well-being, and regionality – you will be as happy here as we are.
All chosen with great care to provide a unique experience
Excellent experience in Jalapão: a week of learning with the locals, their traditions, and way of life, in addition to the natural beauties and attractions of the region. Congratulations to our guide and his professionalism, good humor, availability, and permanent encouragement to the group, which allowed the trip to be fully enjoyed. I thank the company for the service provided, with clarity and practicality from the first contact. Itinerary (with trails and rafting), transfers, transport, trails, accommodation, meals, attractions/activities/tours – all chosen with great care to provide a unique experience to the visitor who wants to know Jalapão in its fullness.
Very transformative in personal terms
I just got back from Jalapão. It was an incredible experience. A true immersion in nature and community. Very transformative in personal terms, mainly, to get out of my comfort zone. And what to say about the guide…….an amazing person with a huge heart.
An immersion that rescues us what is really worth it
The experience of getting to know the traditional Jalapão, the people who are part of it, the smells, flavors, sensations… an immersion that rescues us what is really worth it. Stunning natural beauty, excellent accommodation, personal challenge, jungle bath, nature bath. I recommend it to everyone who wants to connect with nature, here people still challenge themselves in an adventurous place 🙂 Itinerary out of common sense, personalized experience. We joked that the entire Jalapao was reserved just for our group!
I would definitely recommend this tour!

Magnificent service
Magnificent service. Nice food! Very cool experience in the Amazon! We got rain in February (it seems to be common at that time), but nothing that interfered with the trip. Negative point: they had not warned us that some places were under maintenance, such as the pool.
