Situated an hour north of Rio de Janeiro, in the Parque Nacional da Serra dos Órgãos, the Dedo de Deus, makes for an excellent day of rock climbing.
Starting early in the morning we will head into the park and begin our approach to the base of the rock on foot, hiking up a long and steep forest trail.
As we hike this route, we’ll have the opportunity to discuss our plan and enjoy the stunningly beautiful scenery of the park.
We will then climb a Via Ferrata up 150 meters at the base of the rock and then do a bit of scrambling. After 2.5 hours of this, plus the hiking, we will arrive at the east base of Dedo de Deus.
From here, it is a 200 meter climb to the top that will test your techniques and include chimneys, dihedrals, and friction. You should be comfortable climbing at a level of 5.9 in order to successfully make it to the top.
After having lunch at the summit (which is not included in the price), we will begin our descent, which includes overhand rappelling and more Via Ferrata.
Please remember to bring a fleece, rain jacket, food, water and headlamp.
So what are you waiting for? Book now for an amazing day of climbing and views as we head out to conquer the iconic Dedo de Deus in Brazil’s Parque Nacional da Serra dos Órgãos!
If you like the look of this trip then we think you will also enjoy our rock climbing day on Agulhas Negras in the Itatiaia National Park!

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.
