Program Details

A Reserva Bertussi is in Criúva, in the interior of Caxias do Sul, in the Serra Gaúcha. We are a small nature tourism property, surrounded by forest, trails, rivers and the Mulada Waterfall.

We welcome visitors who come to know the region and walk our self-guided trails. At the Reception Shed, we guide each visitor before the walk and share a bit of the stories and peculiarities of this place.

In addition to visitation, on some dates we receive travelers for our wild camp, groups for tourist itineraries around the region and, occasionally, groups that hire some meal service.

Here, the routine is quite diverse: there is nature, hospitality, organization, small projects, contact with visitors and a lot happening at the same time.

Because we are a small property, we like to work together and to welcome people who have initiative, enjoy learning, and want to participate in the real life of a small tourist destination.

And when it is time to disconnect from work, there is Serra, trail, river and waterfall to enjoy. 💦🌿

If you are looking for a closer-to-nature experience, life in the countryside and the daily life of a developing tourist destination, welcome to Mulada.


Activities & Shift

The activities are divided into two phases: weekends for visitor service and during the week for maintenance and creation of attractions for the property. During public service we need help with vehicle control, opening and closing the gate, organizing queues, waiter service, area monitoring and hospitality. During the week we have several small renovations such as painting the gate, installing taps, creating a greenhouse for the vegetable garden and others.


Rules

Be flexible with the activities and be willing to work with the tourists.
