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.

I was looking for a local guide for a hike I was planning and came across Explore-Share. They seemed to have good reviews and so decided to give them a try. The experience was very positive and completely happy with their service. I will be using them again for next trip.

Thank you explore-share for a wonderful via feratta experience. We have been wanting to learn for a long time but don't have the facilities in Scotland. The guide Mitja was extremely helpful and knowledgeable, answering all my many questions and providing advice. On the day head to take another group but he quickly arranged another guide Borut, who was brilliant. We had a fantastic morning learning via ferrata at Hvadnik in the gorge. It gave us the confidence to later hire our own equipment and go out in Mojstrana. Altogether a five star + experience. Thank you.
Stay up-to-date on the best adventures.
