The top of Serra dos Órgãos Park
Pedra do Sino is the highest point of Serra dos Órgãos, with an altitude of 2275m. The trail is quite easy and takes 4 to 6 hours to hike up. From the summit we can see the city of Rio de Janeiro, the entire Guanabara Bay and most of the mountains and valleys of the park. The view is jaw-dropping.
(called the organ's sierra because the mountains looks like church organs.)

First day:

On the first day we´ll walk up to Agulha do Diabo view, technical trail to "one of the most beautiful views in the park, facing one of the most beautiful mountains in the country". After that, we hike to reach Sino´s summit, 2,275 meters altitude. After settling in at the campsite and having lunch, we head to the top of the mountain to watch the sunset.
At the refuge 4 we have bathrooms and cold-shower.

Sino means "bell" because of the mountain shape

MuRiQui is very happy with the opportunity to take you on this traditional hike.
We will provide transportation, first aid, all food necessary (breakfast, lunch and snacks) and all technical equipment needed.
What to take on the expedition?
At least 2 liters of water with you. Let's not forget the sunscreen and hat. Blouse and long pants, fresh and comfortable, help protect us on the trail. Expect it to be cold, maybe 5 degrees or less, so dress for the occasion. *Tip, onion technique: 3 layers (second skin, warm coat and waterproof coat on the outside), this works for both the top and the legs. Good hiking shoes, preferably waterproof, help a lot. Tip: take extra socks in case you get wet and to keep your feet warm. Walking sticks help a lot. It is good to bring some light snacks of your choice.
