Perfect for first-time campers and curious travelers alike, this one night event invites you to explore nature without sacrificing comfort.

Throughout the experience, you will be invited into the heart of Brazilian culture through food, storytelling, and shared moments. At the center of this journey is the cuisine of Bahia, one of the most vibrant cultural regions of Brazil, where African, Indigenous, and Portuguese influences come together in powerful and flavorful ways.

Over the course of the trip, you’ll enjoy thoughtfully crafted Brazilian meals, including a hands-on cooking demonstration of moqueca,  a traditional coastal stew bursting with flavor and history. Sip handcrafted cocktails, take in sweeping high-desert views, and choose your own adventure with guided activities like hiking, foraging, and stargazing beneath Oregon’s vast night sky.
