ITATIAIA NATIONAL PARK & AGULHAS NEGRAS Trekking
Itatiaia National Park & Agulhas Negras Peak (alt. 2.791 m)
When you reach the top of Agulhas Negras Peak...
... you know what you went up for !
The day started early...
... when the sun breaks through the clouds to light up the Itatiaia National Park.
The first half of the hike is a quite flat area...
We are in the pretty greenery typical of the park.
At the foot of the mountain, the trail turns into a steep ascent over and between rocks, then into a climb...
As a precaution, it is sometimes necessary to tie up with a rope...
... under the watchful eye of the local professional guide.
Prateleiras massif (alt. 2.548 m), a great alternative hike...
2 hours from the park entrance, low altimetry except for the final climb
Flowers waterfall (alt. 2.300 m)
1h15 from the park entrance, straight on the dirt road, slightly downhill... so slightly uphill on the way back !
Pedra do Picú (alt. 2,050 m)
2h of steep ascent into the dense forest, with stunning views from the top, well deserved !
And there are many other hikes in the park...
... most of which offer superb views of the surrounding massifs and the Paraiba Valley
The fazenda, with its lake and its hills...
We stay in this green paradise, in peace...
The rooms at the fazenda
Comfortable and nicely decorated
A must at the fazenda, you can savor a delicious food...
Regional (like trout) or international specialties... We love it !
