Pedra Bonita is one of the main peaks of the Tijuca National Park PNT. Located in the neighborhood of São Conrado, with easy access, it is known for its hang-gliding and paragliding ramps.

A one-hour hike takes us to the summit of this mountain, at a height of 696 meters (2100 feet). At the top you will be rewarded with an outstanding view of Rio, including the Pepino Beach, Pedra da Gávea, Morro Dois Irmãos, and Ipanema Beach farther away.

This area was cleared, as the rest of the national park, during the 1800’s of its natural vegetation and was not part of the 1860’s reforestation efforts seen in other areas of the Tijuca National Park.
