Description

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!

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.
