Vale do Pati

Vale do Pati is a remote multi-day trekking destination within the Chapada Diamantina National Park, characterized by its dramatic sandstone plateaus, escarpments, and lush river valleys. The trek is widely regarded as one of Brazil's most historic and scenic landscapes, defined by its lack of vehicular access and its network of local homestays. Hikers stay in the simple dwellings of traditional families, providing a unique cultural immersion into the rural Bahian interior.

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.
