Serra dos Órgãos at a glance |
| |
| |
created in 1939, Serra dos Órgãos National Park extends over almost 12,000 hectares of mountainous country, encompassing part of the municipalities of Petrópolis, Teresópolis, Magé and Guapimirim. most of the Park is clad in the typical vegetation of the Atlantic Forest, but the higher parts are covered with the scrub like vegetation of the highlands. at 1,692 meters (5,500 feet) high its peak and best known landmark is Dedo de Deus (Finger of God); however, the highest point is the Pedra do Sino (Bell Stone) measuring 2,263 meters (7,425 feet). the Park is a paradise for adventure-sport lovers, and the trails afford spectacular views. on clear days, one can see as far as the city of Rio de Janeiro, glimpsing the Guanabara Bay through the foliage. |
| |
Serra dos Órgãos is open to the public from tuesday through sunday, between 8 AM and 5 PM for short trips. at other times only climbers who have bought tickets in advance can enter. the best period for hiking is from may to october, while river bathing is better between november and february. beware of the summer storms (from december to march), as headwater levels tend to rise extremely rapidly and hurtle downwards, abruptly increasing river currents and creating flashfoods that wash away everything in their path. |
| |
the Park’s major river is Soberbo, which offers wonderful waterfalls for bathing and is also the terminal for the most accessible trails. the easiest ones like Primavera and Mozart Catão, take less than an hour, while instead it takes less than two hours to the Véu da Noiva waterfall (which means Bride’s Veil), located in Bonfim, a canyoning and rappelling spot. the 2,232 meter (7,300 feet) hike to the top of Pedra do Açu takes about six hours, but the resulting view of Guanabara Bay is well worth the effort. |
| |
by far, the most challenging trek is the three or four-day hike across the mountains on the 42 km/26 miles trail from Petrópolis to Teresópolis, or the other way around, which provides with one of the most beautiful scenery trekkings in Brazil as the trail passes by Pedra do Sino and Pedra do Açu. howewer professional guidance is strongly advised. remember that besides the distance, the altitude may be an issue. therefore bring cellular phone, torch, cooker, protection against cold, sun and rain, impermeable boots, food and plenty of water. |
