FAQs: Mountain Climbing in Brazil
What should I know about Mountain Climbing Brazil?
While Brazil might not strike you as a great mountain climbing destination, don’t be fooled, it is!
Just outside of Rio de Janeiro and São Paulo sit the Mantiqueira Mountains. There are plenty of great climbing options here, from heading up to the summit of the tallest peak in the range – Pedro de Mina (2.798 meters) – to exploring the gorgeous and unique Itatiaia National Park.
Farther south, closer to Curitiba, there are even more mountain climbing options available. Anhangava is the popular mountain to summit here, offering great views and making for a great day trip if you find your way down here in Paraná.
Why should I choose Brazil for my Mountain Climbing adventure?
Stunning scenery
Heading out into Brazil’s mountains ensures that you are in for a scenic trip. The mountains in this country are just as diverse as everything else here. Enjoy stunning views of verdant valleys and forests or, for something different, head out into the karst landscapes of Minas Gerais.
Beautiful beaches
Brazil is world renowned for its beautiful beaches. Since you’ll likely land in Rio, take advantage of being near the Copacabana and spend a few days either before or after your trip enjoying the stunning white sand beaches and perfect turquoise-blue water at the perfect temperature.
Escape the crowds
Unlike other popular mountain climbing hot spots in South America, Brazil is not teeming with climbers when the season comes around. Part of the reason why is that you can climb all season. The other part is that it’s lesser known for its mountains,. Take full advantage of this and get numerous high summits all to yourself.
What can I expect from the weather in Brazil?
Brazil is located on the equator and as a result it is pretty warm all year long with average daily temperatures between 23°C to 27°C. The country experiences moderate rainfall with precipitation levels of between 1.000 mm and 1.500 mm, most of which falls between December and March.
How can I get to Brazil?
If you’re looking for mountain climbing then your trip will likely start with a flight into the international airports at Rio (GIG) or São Paulo (GRU). From here, you’ll easily be able to take a bus to Itamonte, a small town located near some of Brazil’s highest peaks.
