Super Zipline – Brotas
A cold waterfall makes the zipline even better. The Super Zipline in Brotas combines a long ride above a river with a nature walk, a waterfall stop, and the useful comfort of private transport back to the base. I like the careful instructors, especially the calming approach credited to Guto, and I like that the outing includes access to water, juice, insurance, and equipment rather than charging for every small extra. The main catch is simple: you must weigh between 50 and 110 kilograms, and wet weather can cancel the activity.
This is a four-hour outing based at Território Selvagem Canoar, with a private group rather than a mixed public departure. I also appreciate the practical setup: a dressing room with a hot shower, lockers available for rent, and a place to change after getting wet. If you are hoping for a quiet walk with no adrenaline, this is not the right pick. The zipline is the main event, and the ride is built for excitement.

Key points before you book

- A long zipline over water: Expect views toward the valley, a river below, and a strong dose of height and speed.
- A waterfall walk is part of the day: The route includes a trail toward the Crystal Waterfall, where the water may be very cold.
- Instructors receive high praise: Guto and other guides are described as attentive, friendly, and reassuring.
- You need the right clothing: Wear a swimsuit under flexible clothes, water-friendly sneakers, and bring dry clothes and shoes.
- The base is unusually practical: Lockers, a changing room, hot showers, water, and juice make the return much easier.
- Weight limits are firm: The minimum is 50 kilograms and the maximum is 110 kilograms.
Starting at Território Selvagem Canoar in Brotas

Your day begins at Território Selvagem Canoar, at Av. Mario Pinoti, 11, in the Caju area of Brotas, São Paulo. You must arrive 30 minutes before the scheduled activity, which gives the staff time to organize equipment and prepare the group without a rushed start.
The base matters more than you might expect. Adventure activities often leave you wet, muddy, or carrying more gear than you planned. Here, you can rent a locker, use the changing room, and take a hot shower after returning. That is a real advantage if you have a long drive, another activity later, or a meal planned in clean clothes.
Private transportation is included, along with specialized drivers and personal protective equipment. Since only your group participates, the pace should feel more personal than a large departure, although the exact vehicle schedule and group size are not specified. The transport also helps remove some of the usual uncertainty about getting from the meeting point to the activity area.
Bottled water, water, and juice are included. That sounds modest, but it is useful on a four-hour outdoor outing, especially when heat, sun, walking, and wet clothing all take their toll.

The Super Zipline over the Brotas valley

The zipline is the star of this experience. It is described as a long ride with views toward the valley and a river below, and the route gives you a different angle on Brotas than a standard trail walk. You are not simply sitting in a vehicle looking at scenery. The view arrives while you are suspended above it, with the added thrill of speed and height.
I like that this ride is paired with nature rather than sold as a stand-alone burst of adrenaline. Once the harness is secured, the activity gives you a short, memorable challenge, then the day continues on foot toward the waterfall. That makes the $38.85 price easier to justify than a brief zipline ride with no other element included.
The ride may feel intimidating if you are uneasy with heights. That concern comes through clearly in the experience feedback, where the instructors are praised for keeping nervous participants calm. Guto is singled out for his reassuring manner, while the wider team is described as prepared, attentive, and good-humored.
You should still be honest with yourself before booking. This is not a gentle scenic tram ride. You will wear protective equipment, leave the ground, and accept a real adrenaline rush. The safety record described in the supplied information is encouraging, but no adventure activity removes every sensation of height or speed.
The activity has strict weight limits. You must weigh at least 50 kilograms and no more than 110 kilograms. These limits are not minor guidelines, so check them before paying.
Walking toward Crystal Waterfall
The second part of the outing takes you along a trail toward Crystal Waterfall. The walk adds welcome variety after the zipline and lets you slow down enough to notice the river, forest, and rock formations around the route.
The waterfall is more than a photo stop. The water is described as beautiful and cold, so you may want to treat swimming as optional rather than assume you will spend a long time in it. Bring a swimsuit under your clothes if you think you will want a bath, and remember that wet hair and clothing can make the return feel cooler than expected.
The trail is also part of the value. You get a short outdoor walk rather than a single engineered attraction, and the route appears to connect the zipline experience with the natural setting around Brotas. At the same time, the supplied details do not give the trail length, elevation gain, or difficulty rating. If you have mobility concerns, ask the operator for current trail conditions before booking.
One useful point is that the day is not over when the zipline ends. The walk gives you another way to enjoy the area, and the waterfall provides a refreshing change after the harnessed ride. I would think of this as an active half-day, not as a quick attraction you can squeeze into a spare hour.
Returning wet, tired, and better prepared

Plan your clothing around the return, not just the ride. The official advice says you will get wet, and jeans are specifically discouraged because they become heavy and uncomfortable when soaked.
Wear lightweight, flexible clothing over a swimsuit. Sneakers or footwear suitable for water activities are required, so do not arrive in sandals that slip easily or shoes you cannot get wet. Pack dry clothes and dry shoes for changing afterward.
Your small packing list should include:
- Swimsuit
- Lightweight clothing
- Water-friendly sneakers
- Sunscreen
- Lip protection
- Hat or cap
- Dry clothes and shoes
- A hair clipper, as specified by the operator
The wording around lip repellent and hair clipper may reflect local terminology, so if you are unsure what to bring, confirm those items directly with the operator. The basic message is clear: protect yourself from sun, keep loose hair controlled, and have a complete dry change ready.
The changing room and hot shower are among the best practical features of the experience. You can finish the waterfall walk, return to the base, clean up, and avoid getting into private transport in wet or dirty clothes. That can make a bigger difference than another included snack.

What the $38.85 price really covers

At $38.85 per person, this is a reasonable price for a four-hour private-group activity if you want more than a single zipline run. The package includes private transportation, drivers, protective equipment, insurance through Porto Seguro, farm admission, and drinks.
The included insurance and entrance fee reduce the number of costs you need to calculate separately. Water and juice are also available, which helps keep the day simple. You are paying mainly for the organized combination of transport, equipment, staff, zipline access, and the waterfall outing.
Photos are not included. An optional photo package is available, so decide in advance if you care about having images from the ride. You may prefer to keep your hands free and enjoy the views, but a zipline is one of those activities where the best action shot is difficult to take yourself.
The private format improves the value for couples, families, or a small group that wants to stay together. It may be less attractive if you only want the cheapest possible ride or if you are already planning several paid adventure activities in Brotas.
Safety, staff, and the feel of the outing

Safety is the most consistently praised part of the experience. The instructors are described as well prepared, attentive, and friendly, with special appreciation for Guto and another instructor called Zé Comeia. Those personal details matter because a calm voice and clear guidance can change the whole experience for someone worried about heights.
The staff also appear to keep the mood light. That is useful on an activity where some people are excited and others are quietly wondering why they agreed to it. You can expect instructions, protective equipment, and an organized setup, but you should still listen carefully and follow every direction.
The activity is marked as suitable for most people, and service animals are allowed. That does not mean every person can participate in every part without difficulty. The weight limits apply, the trail may be physically active, and the experience requires good weather.
If conditions are poor, the operator may cancel and offer another date or a full refund. The same applies if the minimum number of participants is not reached. You can cancel for a full refund if you do so at least 24 hours before the start time. Cancellations or changes made later are not accepted for a refund.
Who will enjoy the Super Zipline most

I would recommend this for you if you want a compact Brotas adventure with several parts: a zipline, a trail, a waterfall, and organized transport. It works especially well for people who want excitement but do not want to spend an entire day on a single demanding activity.
It is also a good fit if you are nervous about heights but still want to try. The guidance from the instructors appears to be one of the strongest parts of the experience, and the waterfall walk gives you something enjoyable to look forward to before or after the ride.
Families and private groups may appreciate the fact that only their own group participates. Couples can share a memorable challenge, while friends can enjoy the joking and nerves that naturally come with a zipline. The exact age rules are not provided, so families with children should ask about age requirements before booking.
I would be more cautious if you dislike getting wet, have difficulty walking on trails, or want a completely relaxed outing. The included shower helps afterward, but it does not change the fact that the activity involves water, outdoor walking, and height.
Should you book it?

Book the Super Zipline if you want a well-organized half-day that mixes adrenaline with a real nature stop. The strongest reasons are the attentive staff, the valley and river views, the Crystal Waterfall walk, and the practical base with lockers and hot showers.
Skip it if you only want a dry sightseeing activity or if you fall outside the 50 to 110 kilogram limit. For everyone else, $38.85 buys more than a quick ride. You get a complete outing, useful facilities, and enough variety to make the trip feel like a proper part of your Brotas visit rather than a single short thrill.
