Itinerary

For seasoned trekkers and adventurous young adults, the 'Petrópolis x Teresópolis Trekking' is a must-try challenge in Brazil. This multi-day trek traverses the Serra dos Órgãos National Park, connecting the towns of Petrópolis, Guapimirim, and Teresópolis over 32 rugged kilometers. Renowned as one of Brazil’s most beautiful long-distance hikes, the route is packed with obstacles, steep ascents and descents, and panoramic vistas of the Atlantic Forest.

Divided into three stages—from the Petrópolis park entrance to Açu castles, then on to Pedra do Sino summit, and finally to the Teresópolis exit—this trip demands stamina and determination. Round-trip transfers from Rio de Janeiro and most meals are included, and equipment rentals are available for added convenience.

The unique selling point: an immersive trekking experience through wild, breathtaking landscapes few travelers ever see, all while guided and supported for safety and comfort. For those seeking a strenuous, unforgettable adventure, this tour package is the real deal.

day 1Petrópolis Headquarters x Açu Castles Camp

After pick-up and transfer from Petropolis Terminal Station or your lodging we'll start our expedition on Serra dos Órgãos.
The first day of Petrópolis Teresópolis crossing is the most demanding. During the 7 km up to Castelos do Açu mountain shelter we gain approximately 1100 meters of altitude. The trail to Açu mountain goes through a dense forest and with a strong ascent to Pedra do Queijo viewpoint. Then the trail gets a little less steep until arriving at Ajax viewpoint, which has natural water supply. After Ajax, we need to face the section considered the most difficult of the ascent to the Açu castles: the Isabeloca mountain. This ascent is named after an alleged passage of Princess Isabel on the spot. Once Isabeloca is over, we’ll cross the Chapadão do Açu, a counterfort, before arriving at the Açu castles. This is the first place to overnight and where the first mountain shelter of the expedition is located. The view from the top of Açu castles closes the first day with a golden key. From there it is possible to see all Rio de Janeiro and Guanabara Bay in addition to the entire mountain range of Serra dos Órgãos.
