"Passionate about mountains and adventure sports." I was born in Jacareí-SP and have always been passionate about adventure sports. My first contact with climbing was in 2000 and I haven't stopped anymore! I've been qualifying myself with courses and training, climbing different walls, and taking part several routes in different regions of the states of São Paulo and Minas Gerais. In 2013, together with some friends, we carry out the first climbing route at Paredão dos Remédios and since then, we have opened more than 30 climbing routes, walking trails, and 4x4 routes in Paraibuna. That same year, I had the idea of opening an eco-adventure agency in this region. Initially, we started only bringing friends and family to climb and go on 4x4 tours on the weekends. And in 2019, with a case of depression and anxiety due to overwork and mental fatigue as a public transport driver, I thought about giving up on my dream. But in 2020, I had a turning point. I came out of my depression, with a lot of faith and a change of mindset, I quit my job, and officially founded Paraibuna Vertical Ecoturismo, the first eco-adventure agency in the city of Paraibuna. Today, we are a reference in Paraibuna and in the Paraíba Valley, attending clients from all over Brazil and abroad. We also follow the ABNT standards for adventure tourism and we carry out continuous training with theWFA training company. In addition, we are active in the Paraibuna Municipal Tourism Council (COMTUR). Today, we can proudly say that we have an advanture agency in Paraibuna! And we have already expanded our offerings, with the support of our boat and kayak partners in the Paraibuna dam. Safety and Adventure are our trademarks! Our guides are local and are ready to act in any risky situation, since we are certified in first aid in remote areas, that is, everything is ready for you, whether you are a beginner or a professional, just come and enjoy. Come and discover our region and fall in love too! Paulo Diego, 44 years old Father of 3 children and grandfather Founder of Paraibuna Vertical A nature lover of Paraibuna!
