Mushroom Picking Quad Tour

Dive into the fascinating world of mycology and join this quad tour to go mushroom picking in Cambara do Sul, the perfect fall activity in Southern Brazil!

Mushroom Picking Tour

We'll meet at the Parador Hotel, where you'll receive a brief orientation on safe riding practices. Then, our mushroom-picking quad tour adventure in Cambara do Sul begins.

Between March and June, Brazil's fall season, the wild fields on the outskirts of Cambara do Sul transform into a mycologist's paradise. During our quad tour, we'll ride through dense forests and learn to identify wild porcini mushrooms, a main type of edible mushroom found in these woods.

Upon reaching our designated wooded area of pine trees, we'll dismount our quad bikes and search for hidden mushrooms along the tree bases. An expert in mycology will accompany us, offering advice on identifying edible mushrooms for a safe experience for beginners.

After gathering our harvest, we'll load our mushroom baskets onto the quad bikes and return to the starting point. On our ride back, we will discuss interesting facts about the araucaria forests.

We will conclude our quad bike tour after 1.5 hours of exploration at the meeting point.
