7km Quadricycle Tour in Apoema: Morro Pelado Viewpoint

Stop at Morro Pelado and see the landscape from inside the ride, not from a bus window.

A 7km quadricycle tour in Apoema for up to two riders, guided through protected trails to Morro Pelado viewpoint. You ride the quad bike yourself with a trained guide accompanying you. The route passes through natural viewpoints and exclusive roads designed to show hidden places beyond conventional tourism. Helmet, protective glasses and a disposable raincoat if needed are included. Schedule the departure time by contacting the operator after purchase. Tours run Tuesday to Sunday, 9am to 6pm, and the ride takes 45 minutes.

The Experience

You start with a safety briefing and helmet check, then the guide walks you through the quad bike controls and handling before you leave the staging area. Once equipped with helmet and protective glasses, you ride out onto the trails that wind through Apoema's protected area. The operator is the only company in the region with both a protected riding zone and medical staff on-site. The 7km route is designed to balance speed and scenery, passing through viewpoints and roads that don't show up on standard tourism maps.

The main stop is Morro Pelado, a natural viewpoint where you dismount and take in the landscape. This is where most riders spend time photographing and absorbing the view before heading back. The whole experience runs 45 minutes of actual riding time. A guide stays with you throughout (they speak English, Portuguese or German, depending on what you book), and they're trained to keep the pace safe and the route manageable for the skill level you bring.

Before you book, contact the operator by WhatsApp at (54) 98137-4994 to confirm available departure times. They usually slot the 7km tour for 9am, but availability shifts. Children under 7, pregnant women and anyone over 180kg per bike cannot participate, and the operator notes the ride is not recommended for people with spinal injuries, poor cardiovascular health or labyrinthitis. You cannot switch riders mid-route, and any maneuver that risks the equipment or participants is off-limits.
