Família na Trilha was born from a combination of a love of nature and a desire to transform experiences into learning opportunities. Since 2019, we have been guiding people of all ages along the trails, beaches, and historic centers of Santa Catarina, always with safety, sensitivity, and purpose.
Inspired by the experiences of André Barbosa da Silva and Cláudia Tiscoski—tour guides and environmental leaders—the initiative began as a way to share family moments and evolved into an operator recognized for the quality, social and environmental responsibility, and educational nature of its activities.
Over the years, we have developed itineraries that combine nature, history, and culture, valuing traditional knowledge and promoting physical and mental well-being. Our experience is the result of hundreds of guided tours, technical training, and a continuous commitment to safety and sustainability at every step of the trail.
