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!

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.
