What’s the experience like?

I’ll admit, I was a little nervous when we first pulled up to Zoom Aventura in Campos do Jordão. The trees looked taller than I expected — or maybe it was just the way the morning mist clung to everything, making the whole park feel like some kind of secret forest. Our guide, Rafael, handed me a harness and grinned like he’d seen this look before. “Don’t worry,” he said, “the bridges move less than you think.” He lied, but in a good way.

The first few crossings were wobbly — my hands kept slipping on the ropes because I’d forgotten to wipe off the sunscreen (rookie mistake). There were fourteen bridges in total, each one a little different. Some felt like tightropes; others bounced underfoot. At one point, a kid zipped past us shouting something in Portuguese that sounded like pure joy. The air smelled like pine needles and wet earth, and I remember thinking how quiet it got between laughs — just birds somewhere above us and the creak of wood.

Then came the zip line. It’s 130 meters long, which doesn’t sound wild until you’re actually clipped in and looking down from fourteen meters up. Rafael double-checked my harness (he’s serious about safety), then gave me a thumbs up. The ride itself? Fast, cold air on my face, trees blurring by, that weird mix of fear and thrill that makes you want to laugh out loud even if nobody hears you. I still think about that view over the State Park — it didn’t last long but stuck with me anyway.

The whole tree climbing circuit took about half an hour, but time felt strange up there — stretched out by nerves and adrenaline or maybe just all those tiny moments where you have to trust your own balance. We finished muddy and grinning at each other like we’d gotten away with something. So yeah, if you’re looking for a day trip in Campos do Jordão that’s more than just pretty views (though there are plenty), this is it.
