Description

This day hike in the Serra dos Orgaos National Park near Rio I will lead you on contains some of the most beautiful and amazing natural scenery in the Rio de Janeiro area, as we hike through the rich and unique vegetation, with thousands of different plant and orchid species amongst the green forest, before reaching the summit of the postcard-pretty Pedra do Sino mountain.

The Serra dos Orgaos National Park is located within the state of Rio de Janeiro, just a one hour drive from the city of the same name, and was created as Brazils third ever national park in 1939.

For this day we meet in the city of Rio bright and early, before driving to the entrance of the park, where all relevant safety information will be dispensed.

It is then approximately a 5-hour hike to the top of Pedra do Sino, with frequent stops along the way to admire and bask in the sheer biodiversity on offer.

The higher up we go the more exotic and rich the flora and fauna become, some of the richest in the state in fact, and once we reach the peak we are able to take in the sweeping panoramic views back over the valleys, forests and gorgeous lakes beneath, with excellent views to Rio on clear days.

We then begin our descent and hike back to the park entrance, and from there we drive back to Rio, hopefully weary and content at our fun, rewarding and superb day.

This is one of the best ways to spend a day in Rio – book now for this beautiful experience of Brazilian nature.

Climbing with guide Guillaume was absolutely a highlight of my 2-week Europe vacation. Originally, we were planning on climbing in the Calanques, but the park was closed due to wind and fire danger. Guillaume chose another amazing location (Pic de Bretagne) based on my climbing abilities and preferences and kindly offered train station pick-up and hotel drop off, which I appreciated very much. The multi-pitch route we did was not only fun but also the right amount of challenge, which I thoroughly enjoyed. The communication from the team (Gauthier) was prompt and clear—highly recommend!

Luis Silva was a great climbing guide and belayer! He taught me how to do moves that were difficult and encouraged me to try routes that were challenging for me! Because of his encouragement, I managed to complete these routes! I really enjoyed the climbs and completed 8 routes in the Sesimbra/Azoia area. The weather was perfect, no direct sun and cool enough to enjoy the climbs. Explore-Share made booking an outdoor climbing experience in Lisbon extremely easy. Luis, our guide, was fantastic, and the platform’s organization was flawless.

We had Léo as a guide for our day climb in Fonty. We were blessed with a knowledgeable, warm, and instructive guide. Communication with Léo and Ivan was smooth and swift. Explore-Share was excellent in arranging everything for our day climb. The communication was quick, and the platform was easy to use, making our adventure stress-free.

Patrick was a great guide. He took us on an intermediate Via Ferrata at Passo Sella. Renato was quick to respond with any outreach on the Explore-Share platform. The booking process was straightforward, and once Patrick was confirmed, all went well. It was a wonderful experience, and I’d highly recommend the platform.
