Três Picos - Valley of the Gods

Atualizado: 9 de mai. de 2022


The refuge of legendary climbers


The Três Picos State Park is the largest park in Rio de Janeiro, it has a set of mountains that leaves any mountaineer impressed.



Two days trip


On the first day we will hike up to Torres de Bonsucesso (known as the Brazilian Patagonia)

"Imposing granite towers with more than 600m of wall". It takes us about 2 hours to reach the summit, passing by several viewpoints and crests.





After the trekking we will have lunch at a local restaurant and go by transfer to the refuge of the legendary Sergio Tartari; there we will rest, have a swim on a private natural pool, and enjoy delicious wood fired pizzas and craft beer.



The next day, after breakfast, we will cross the Vale dos Deuses & Vale dos Frades, also visiting Caixa de Fosforo Peak, at 1,803 altitude.



Our trail ends at the river of the Friars, with natural pools for relaxation, where our transport will be waiting for us.



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.
