One of the most
traditional mountains in Brazil is the “Agulha
do Diabo” (Devil’s Needle) in the Serra
dos Órgãos National Park (about 1
hour drive from Rio).
Agulha has a 4-hour approach to
the base of the climb. A 5.7 chimney climb that
leads to one of the most impressive summits in
Brazil.
It's a great long day or two days.
Definitely one of the best climbs in Rio!
