Pico do Papagaio Sunrise Hike

On this hiking tour to Pico do Papagaio at sunrise, we'll climb to the summit of the second-highest peak in Ilha Grande while enjoying the sunrise.

Description

We will meet next to the São Sebastião Church to begin our hiking route through the forest to Pico do Papagaio. The hike will last around 6 hours, allowing us to appreciate the flora and fauna characteristic of the Atlantic Rainforest. The first 3 hours will take us to the summit of Pico do Papagaio, which is 980 metres (3,215 ft.) above sea level.

We will make stops to rest and hydrate. Upon reaching the summit, we will enjoy the sun's morning rays illuminating the landscape. You will have an hour and a half of free time at the top for photography and to take in the stunning views, including the famous Pedra da Gávea in Rio de Janeiro.

After enjoying the summit, we will begin our descent back to the meeting point, concluding the tour after 8 hours with farewells.
