Description

Nestled into the mountains of Itatiaia National Park, just northwest of Rio de Janeiro, Agulhas Negras makes for a fun and eventful day of rock climbing!

Rising to 2.792 meters above sea level, Agulhas Negras is the sixth tallest mountain in Brazil and the second tallest in Brazil’s highlands. Its iconic rock wall attracts climbers from all over the world.

After meeting up in a nearby city, we will make our way over the Rio Campo Bell and begin hiking up the trail. After 45 minutes, we will arrive at the base of the rock wall.

With about 20 different routes up to the top of varying difficulty, there’s plenty for us to try out and the trip is perfectly suited to both intermediate and advanced climbers.

Once here, we’ll put on all our gear and begin making the two hour climb up to the summit. Be sure to bring a rain jacket and fleece as it can be quite cool at the top and rain, while not frequent, isn’t uncommon at this time of year.

From the top, we’ll have fantastic views out over the Serra de Mantiqueira and may even be able to see out over the Paraiba do Sul Valley and into the Serra do Mar and Serra da Bocaina on a clear day!

So what are you waiting for? Book now for a fun and thrilling day of rock climbing Agulhas Negras in the stunning beauty of Itatiaia National Park!

If you like the look of this trip then we think you will also enjoy our day of rock climbing on Dedo de Deus, just north of Rio de Janeiro in the Serra dos Orgaos!

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.
