Travessia Petrópolis-Teresópolis (Serra dos Órgãos NP)

The Travessia Petrópolis-Teresópolis is a premier multi-day traverse within the Serra dos Órgãos National Park (PARNASO). Spanning approximately 30km, the route reaches its peak at Pedra do Sino (2,263m). The trek transitions from dense Atlantic Rainforest to exposed granite plateaus. Route basics: 1. Officially known as Travessia Petrópolis-Teresópolis. 2. Located within PARNASO. 3. Requires advanced booking for 'Abrigo' shelters. 4. Iconic 'Cavalinho' scramble is the technical crux. 5. High risk of white-out fog (nevoeiro) on the ridge. 6. Best hiked between May and September.

The Wilderness Coast Walk is a remote, point-to-point coastal trek of roughly 100 km, linking the Merrica River trailhead in South East NSW (Nadgee Nature Reserve) to Mallacoota Inlet in Gippsland, Victoria (Croajingolong National Park). The route traverses expansive sand dunes, sandstone headlands, and coastal heathlands along the Tasman Sea, with optional extensions to Green Cape. Navigation relies on tidal windows and topographic cues, as much of the track is unmarked. The walk passes through critical habitats for species such as the White-bellied Sea Eagle. Permits are required from NSW National Parks & Wildlife Service and Parks Victoria.
